"Street Creature" lyrics - TOYAH

I belong to the street,
But I'm just a super-feature
In a magazine,
Blown from the dustbin to the gutter,
I'm just a street creature.

You can hear me approaching
Tapping feet,
I'm a wild child
I'm just street meat.
I'm gonna to take the car
In the dark of night
And travel home
To see all my old friends.

Catch them by surprise
Just to let them know
I'm not living these lies,
I belong to the streets,
I'm a wild child.

I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination
Yes I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination

City lights
Blink like electric eyes
As I move on
In and out of trees.
Lizards run through pylons
And telegraph wires
Higher grow my fires of curiosity.

I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination
Yes I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination

Til I'm going to get there,
And I'm going to get there

I won't be stopped
But the news travels fast
So I gotta get away,
Gotta get away,
Gotta get away today.

Who and what am I to say
The why's and where's?
All I know is
I'm going to escape.

I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination
Yes I'm searching,
Always searching,
Always searching,
For a new destination

Til I'm going to get there,
And I'm going to get there
And I'm going to get there
Gotta get away,
Gotta get away,
Gotta get away today.

And I'm going to get there
And I'm going to get there...

Street creature
Street creature...
