In the Street
Alex Chilton Lyrics

Hanging out, down the street
We're spending time together outside, likely in a public or residential area

The same old thing we did last week
We're repeating our actions from the past week with no significant changes or new activities

Not a thing to do
There is a lack of exciting or engaging activities available to us at the moment

But talk to you
Our main source of entertainment or companionship right now is each other's company and conversation

Steal your car and bring it down
We're considering taking someone's car without their permission to use for our own purposes, likely as a means of transportation

Pick me up, we'll drive around
If you provide the vehicle, we can go for a drive, likely without a set destination or plan

Wish we had
We desire something that we currently lack or cannot obtain, likely referring to marijuana

A joint so bad
We really want to smoke marijuana together

Bust a street light
We are considering vandalizing public property by breaking a street light, likely as a way to rebel or release pent-up energy

Out past midnight
Our activities are taking place late at night outside of typical curfew hours

Hanging out, down the street
We are still spending time together in the same location as before, despite considering potential illegal or dangerous actions

The same old thing we did last week
We have once again resorted to repeating our past actions, likely out of a lack of other options or ideas

Not a thing to do
We still lack stimulating or interesting activities to occupy our time

But talk to you
Our conversations and company are still our primary source of enjoyment and fulfillment in the moment
