Second Street Lyrics


I could fry an egg on the street,
But it's so cold inside.
Just trying to be me,
I can barely stay alive.
Never mind to make ends meat,
I learned to survive.
I can handle defeat,
But I refuse to be denied.
Chorus:
Life it goes on after all,
But me, I stumble and I fall,
Good for you who feel complete,
'cause I'm here stuck on second street.
I'll take the hit, I'll take the fall
With my back against the wall.
Don't forget, remember me,
'cause I'm still stuck on second street.
Now I got to keep it real,

Right from the start.
Show exactly what I feel,
Deep with in my heart.
It's so clear what we go to do,
No matter how hard.
'cause a dream, it can't come true,
Until we do our part
Chorus
...stuck on second street...
Stop by to see me any time you want I'm always here,
In the shadows of the night living in the darkest spheres.
Don't walk alone, stray far from home, my dear stay near, until you learn
There's no return (4 x)
Chorus
Life it goes on after all.
I'll take the hit, I'll take the fall,
With my back against the wall,
Don't forget, remember me, still stuck on second street.

Tesla is an American hard rock band originating from Sacramento, California. The band formed in 1984 as City Kidd and was renamed to Tesla during the recording of their first album on the advice of their manager. According to the Love Song Songfacts, their name comes from Nikola Tesla, the legendary scientist and inventor who quite possibly is single-handedly responsible for the "mad scientist" trope. Originally, the group included Jeff Keith (vocals), Frank Hannon (guitar), Tommy Skeoch (guitar), Brian Wheat (bass) and Troy Luccketta (drums). In 2006 Skeoch was replaced by Dave Rude, who is now an official member of the band.

Tesla's music fit well with the blasting sound of the 80s glam bands, but was more bluesy and lyrics dealt with other themes than just the usual, girls, alcohol and violence. But what set them even more apart from their contemporaries was their T-shirt and jeans image which was in strong contrast for that time, characteristic of leather pants and flashy-make up.

The group released 6 albums with original music, latest of them entitled "Forever More" (2008) as well as a double-disc covers album "Real To Reel" and a number of compilations and live albums.

Tesla's popular 1990 remake of Signs, originally recorded by the Five Man Electrical Band (who also inspired the album which the remake came from, Five Man Acoustical Jam), is probably the most mainstream of Tesla's hits. However, many fans remember fondly Tesla's other hits such as Gettin' Better, Modern Day Cowboy, Little Suzi, Edison's Medicine and Love Song.

The band derived their name, certain album and song names (e.g. The Great Radio Controversy, Mechanical Resonance, etc), and some song content from events relating to Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer born in the 19th century in Smiljan, Austria-Hungary, modern day Croatia.
