The Meteors - Sewertime Blues lyrics
[The Meteors - Sewertime Blues lyrics]
Under the gutter 'neath the sewers line
That's where we live and we have a good time
Well, the law of the jungle
That rules down here
Says only strongest and the cutest
Can live without fear
We don't work too well in the light
But we'll be up your way in
The dead of the night
Well, on my teeth, get ready to go
Cross down the main park cool and slow
Razor in my pocket, got an axe in my hand
It don't seem like much but
It's my promised land
My hair's greased back and I'm feeling slick
Yeah
Down in the sewer looking for some kicks
I see some cats that I know real well
And two miss whores with nothing left to sell
The roughest and the toughest, well
They're all in town
But when they see us coming
They just ain't around
They ain't too clever but they leave us alone
'Cause when we cut, we cut down on the bone
Just to disappear
'Cause the baddest and the lowest
Sewer suckers are here
Well, our clothes are ragged but
Our minds are sharp
JCBs couldn't tear us apart
We all get together and we have a good time
While the music's loud and we got a line
We drink everything in the whole damn place
And then we roll upstairs to
Join the human race, yeah
Yeah, well, when you're all sound asleep
Out of the manholes and into the street
We run around, let's have some fun
'Cause a working night has just begun
You cannot stop us with the whopping
'Cause there ain't no cure
For the sewertime blues
That's where we live and we have a good time
Well, the law of the jungle
That rules down here
Says only strongest and the cutest
Can live without fear
We don't work too well in the light
But we'll be up your way in
The dead of the night
Well, on my teeth, get ready to go
Cross down the main park cool and slow
Razor in my pocket, got an axe in my hand
It don't seem like much but
It's my promised land
My hair's greased back and I'm feeling slick
Yeah
Down in the sewer looking for some kicks
I see some cats that I know real well
And two miss whores with nothing left to sell
The roughest and the toughest, well
They're all in town
But when they see us coming
They just ain't around
They ain't too clever but they leave us alone
'Cause when we cut, we cut down on the bone
Just to disappear
'Cause the baddest and the lowest
Sewer suckers are here
Well, our clothes are ragged but
Our minds are sharp
JCBs couldn't tear us apart
We all get together and we have a good time
While the music's loud and we got a line
We drink everything in the whole damn place
And then we roll upstairs to
Join the human race, yeah
Yeah, well, when you're all sound asleep
Out of the manholes and into the street
We run around, let's have some fun
'Cause a working night has just begun
You cannot stop us with the whopping
'Cause there ain't no cure
For the sewertime blues
