"Street Life" is a song by Zoom (né Avant Garde).
Appearances
- Zoom (demo, 1990)
Overview
| We’re listening to his heavy chugging on Zoom’s “Street Life,” with piercing vocals from his school friend Kevin Ridel. Cuomo grins, picks up an acoustic guitar (a compact Ed Sheeran signature model, for some reason), and riffs along, chuckling when the song shifts into an oddball funk feel in the verses.
|
"Street Life" was recorded by Zoom in late 1989 or early 1990 at a studio in Los Angeles, as part of a two-song demo that also included the song "Power Talk", a few months prior to the band's dissolution.[2] A live recording of the song is also known to exist.

Lyrics
You're chasing a rainbow in the night
All those stop signs and streetlights
A different direction you go
But it's still the same town you know
You can't run anymore
No runnin' away
Like I told you before
It's always the same
Street life
You're always returning to
Street life
I wish you luck
No, you surrender to the sounds
The rumble of subways underground
Always in search of a way out
But that's what the city is all about, yeah
You can't run anymore
No runnin' away
Like I told you before
It's always the same
Street life
You're always returning to
Street life
I wish you luck
Street life
You're always returning to
Street life
I wish you luck
Luck
Maybe to live
Or maybe to die
One thing's for sure
You're livin' a lie
Street life
I wish you luck
Street life
You're always returning to
Street life
I wish you luck
Street life
