The neighborhood that I live in

I've always seen as home

At certain times of the evening

It's like a no-go zone

Got cash in my pocket to last the weekend (ba ba ba ba)

And I've got features I quite like and don't mind keeping

But still I 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 bubble's best

At a faint whiff of trouble

Just turn and head due west

Quite light on my feet if I ever need be (ba ba ba ba)

As I zip down the street no-one ever sees me

That's why I 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 tomorrow

Til 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
