Tim Buckley - Down In The Street lyrics
[Tim Buckley - Down In The Street lyrics]
Down in the street there's a gunshot warnin'
Here comes that blue parade
Ready to save the day
Down in the street
Man, the whole block's burnin'
How's that for rent control?
High rise and gang patrol
Oh, it's just another sign
That summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornadoe
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talks
Baseball and handy household hymns
Yes it's true in the US of A
There's lots of room at the top
Oh but you can't sit down
On, no you can't sit down
And don't you know that boudoir?
Looks just a ball and chain
Oh, no you can't sit down
All through the night
You hear gunshot warning
This time it wasn't you paid your dues
All through the night
You hear the city moaning
But be a tomcat prowling
Or maybe, your stomach growling
It's just another sign that summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornados
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talks
Baseball and handy household hymns
(Fade)
Here comes that blue parade
Ready to save the day
Down in the street
Man, the whole block's burnin'
How's that for rent control?
High rise and gang patrol
Oh, it's just another sign
That summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornadoe
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talks
Baseball and handy household hymns
Yes it's true in the US of A
There's lots of room at the top
Oh but you can't sit down
On, no you can't sit down
And don't you know that boudoir?
Looks just a ball and chain
Oh, no you can't sit down
All through the night
You hear gunshot warning
This time it wasn't you paid your dues
All through the night
You hear the city moaning
But be a tomcat prowling
Or maybe, your stomach growling
It's just another sign that summer's comin'
City wars and flash floods and tornados
Festivals for rock and roll season
Beach talks
Baseball and handy household hymns
(Fade)
