Lyrics:

Maxi/LP Time = 5:18; Single Time = 3:21; Video-Mix Time = 3:18
() = chorus; []= not in all versions

(Folsom), Folsom Street, on the way to (Polk and Castro)
(You don't find them finer)
(Freedom), freedom is in the air, yeah
(Searching for what we all treasure�: pleasure)
(Cycles), cycles in the night shining bright
(Brightly on nights tell a glory story)
(Leather), leather, leather, leather baby
(Levi's and T's are the best now all right)

Dress the way you please and put your mind at ease
It's a city known for its freedom, (freedom)
Cycles shining bright break the silence of the night
Inhibitions, no, you don't need them, (no),no,(no)

(Searching for what we all treasure�: pleasure)
(Cycles), cycles shining bright
(Brightly on nights tell a glory story)
(Disco), Disco, disco party baby
(- music that sets you on fire, higher)

Say what's on your mind and spend a little time
Every gesture there has a meaning, (meaning)
Party 'till the night before the morning light
You may feel your whole body screaming
