Penthouse and pavement (single version)

Sweat my youth away
With the rules we have to play
Speeding through your magazine
Pistol, pavement, no T.V.
(Talk and talk)
No time (nighttime)
Burnt inside, burnt inside, burnt inside

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Now here comes my job
Credit bleeding with the mob
Dreams become ideals
No one knows the way I feel
(Love to love)
Daytime (right time)
All my life, all my life, all my life

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

As you face the wall
God make it this time or never at all
Before your chance has gone
Captain this lead role, and you'll be the one
(Shine and shine)
This time (my time)
Make me free at last
Make me free at last
Make me free at last

Here comes the daylight, here comes my job
Uptown in the penthouse or downtown with the mob
Here comes the nighttime, here comes my role
Goodbye to the pavement, hello to my soul

(Repeat)
