Lyrics
You know I'm tired of being the black cat
Of running the show down in the snake pit
So this is our chance to get out of this place
So come on let's run for it to
Easy street
Easy street
Where you sleep 'til noon
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Running free, oh
Easy street
We're gonna be there soon
Yeah, I'll be the girl who's strippin' in jewellery
The crowds will go wild when I sing
I won't have to look out on a fire escape
The view will be billboards of me
Easy street
Easy street
Where we all get paid
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Move that feet to
Easy street
Where we get there
When ya get there
When ya get there
