Awesome song. I actually thought it's about prostitution... maybe it's just me...

I agree I definetly think its about prostitution.. I really think that because of the lines that say

It's a funny way, to make ends meet when the lights are out on every street It feels alright, but never complete

I think the first line is talking about prostitution, and the second line is at night walking the streets, and the third line is talking about the sex.

But I think it could maybe maybe mean in this line It's a cruel cruel world, to face on your own, A heavy cross, to carry along The lights are on, but everyone's gone And it's...

Good points you two. This definitely sounds like working to me. "The principal of nature, it's true but it's a cruel world" The basic principal of nature is sex. Not to mention all the lines you already explained. It seems like the kind of topic you'd only pick up on it if you have knowledge of it.
