The Streets
Without Thinking
[Intro]
Anyway

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
I sleep with one eye open, sometimes I might close 'em
But if immediate action is required, I'm fucking loaded
I know my exit strategies and I never plan anything
So in fifteen minutes, I can be absolutely anywhere
Within radio contact, for once, I'm on point
And the contacts are noisy, we go dark

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Skinner]
'Cause life moves pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know

[Chorus: Mike Skinner & Sharlene Hector]
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
Any hesitation, anything tying you
To the bed where you sleep, you're dead on your feet
There's nothing on my person but money in a shirt
In case any unexpected fun shit should occur
Where I have to think on my feet and plan it on my own
And hand to Han Solo or tab it back home
[Pre-Chorus: Mike Skinner]
'Cause life moves pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know

[Chorus: Mike Skinner & Sharlene Hector]
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place

[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
Take time in any new environment to relax
But if fenced in advance, the best defence is attack
Piss-poor planning proceeds any proper party
Where you don't know you're out-out 'til you're shouting
Don't hang back like a bore, bags packed by the door
Rags in a black backpack and the dashed-in passport

[Pre-Chorus: Mike Skinner]
'Cause life moves pretty slow
If you don't even show up for the show, you might never know

[Chorus: Mike Skinner & Sharlene Hector]
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
All the people in the place
All the people in the place
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
I'll go out without a blink, out without a blink
I'll go downtown without thinking and shout over a drink
