Returning composite datatype(record) to an SQL Query

Question

I have a function called get_customer_address() that takes customer id and returns the customer address as a record type.
TYPE cust_address_type IS RECORD
(address1 VARCHAR2(25),
address2 VARCHAR2(25),
city VARCHAR2(25),
zipcode VARCHAR(10),
STATE VARCHAR(10));
cust_address cust_address_type;
My function is returning cust_address.
I want to modify below exising query and call this function from the query to get address.
select cust_id, address1, address2, city, zipcode from customer_table;
Instead of using address1, address2, city, zipcode if I want to the record type variable cust_id returned from the function, can I use it in my query? How do I modify the above query to call the function get_customer_address and get the same values as in the above query?

To add to Elic's comment - PL/SQL record structures can be defined as SQL objects, as long as SQL data types are used and not non-supported PL/SQL types like boolean.
E.g. create or replace type TCustAddress is object
(  address1 VARCHAR2(25),
   address2 VARCHAR2(25),
   city     VARCHAR2(25),
   zipcode  VARCHAR2(10),
   state    VARCHAR2(10)
);This provides a lot more flexibility than using PL/SQL record types. This is essentially an object class definition - and you can add constructors and methods to it.
It works seamlessly across both SQL and PL/SQL.
