Supertramp - Tenth Avenue Breakdown lyrics
[Supertramp - Tenth Avenue Breakdown lyrics]
Well now, how you doin'? Do I know you?
Are you living 'round here
Or just passing through?
Seems like I met you before
Well how do you do?
Take care while you're in there
The lights are low
Though the gals were good
They're not the kind you want to know
Just sit back, and drink a stiff one
Enjoy the show
They got nothing on me nothing I can see
Nothing that could do me wrong
'Cause I'm in my disguise
They'll never get wise
Ain't nothing that can cause alarm
One hit and that'll do you
You won't look back
You'll be feeling no pain
Put you right on track
Why don't you do it again
Ah now you're getting the knack
Let's go to a new place, the lights look good
Reflecting the rain across the neighbourhood
Who's that over there? Looks like
He's up to no good
"Hey what you doing to me? Is
That a knife that I see?
Well are you trying to bring me down?"
I'm a tryin' to run
But my legs have gone numb
It's like I'm messin' with the
Wrong side of town
You're on the wrong station
You're on the wrong track
You lost your reservation
And now you can't get back
You're getting a shakedown, unlucky for you
A tenth avenue breakdown
It's getting rough, just too tough
I'm all abused and so confused
I've got to go, I feel so low
I just can't wait, it's gettin' late
(Get down now)
(Put your hands behind your head)
(You have the right to remain silent)
(Anything you say can be used against you)
Don't know who came he just set upon me
It's kind of vague and I'm
I'm feelin' groggy but you must believe me
He just stopped breathing
I didn't do it, it wasn't me
I know it wasn't me
It's gettin' late we can't afford to wait
It's gettin' late we can't afford to wait
You're on the wrong station
You're on the wrong track
You lost your reservation
And you can't get back
You're getting a shakedown, unlucky for you
A tenth avenue breakdown
It's getting rough, it's just too tough
I'm all abused and so confused
I've got to go, I feel so low
I just can't wait
Are you living 'round here
Or just passing through?
Seems like I met you before
Well how do you do?
Take care while you're in there
The lights are low
Though the gals were good
They're not the kind you want to know
Just sit back, and drink a stiff one

They got nothing on me nothing I can see
Nothing that could do me wrong
'Cause I'm in my disguise
They'll never get wise
Ain't nothing that can cause alarm
