🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Where the streets have no name
  • Where the streets have no name
  • We're still building and burning down love
  • Burning down love

Echo the hook

  • Where the streets have no name (Oh-oh)
  • I wanna feel sunlight on my face
  • I see the dust-cloud disappear without a trace
  • I wanna take shelter from the poison rain, yeah
streetsnamethere
