The Streets - Kick The Can Lyrics

Kick the can down the street, like
Puss in boots in London
Pass the shutters of the station
Just keep chasing pavements
The road to success is always under construction

Kick the can down the street, man
Kick the can down the street

Love don't pay the bills
My looks alone won't make my meal
You can only sleep your way to the middle

Kick the can down the street, man
Wack it all it took
You won't find the answers at
The back of the book

Dead men are heavier than broken hearts
Dead men are heavier than broken hearts

Always pour myself into schemes
And forget to say when

Kick the can down the street, man
Kick the can down the street

You can't guarantee peace
And no heart will complete you
The cards are not dealed equal
You are what you eat eats
Burn the candle all night to get it
In the envelope, the right cheque
I just hope I end up with all the right regrets

Dead men are heavier than broken hearts
Dead men are heavier than broken hearts

Put words into action
And walk nouns through the fog
Just because you're paranoid
Don't doubt that they're not watching

Kick the can down the street, man
Kick the can down the street

Feeling away like people
Have been for ages
And when they run you out of town
Make it look like you're leading the parade

Dead men are heavier than broken hearts
