Side Streets

The neighborhood that
I live in,
I’ve always seen as home.
At certain times at the evening,
It’s like a no-go zone.
Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend.
And I’ve got features
I quite like
And don’t mind keeping.
But I still walk the side streets home,
Even when
I’m on my own.
If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories,
I wouldn’t set a foot outside.
You say I live in a bubble,
I find a bubbles best.
I don't think of the trouble
Just turn and head due west.
Quite light on my feet if
I ever need be,
As I zip down the street,
No one ever sees me.
But I still walk the side streets home,
Even when
I’m on my own.
If I let myself believe all the bad press and horror stories,
I wouldn’t set a foot outside.
I’m tempting fate, (I know, tell me about it)
So nonchalant, (I know and I don't doubt it)
I’ll probably get it tommorrow.
Till then
I walk the side streets home,
Even when i’m on my own.
If I let myself believe… (Side streets home) (On my own)
Believe...
