Down, Down, Down

(clarke / sylvester / hicks)

Down down down town, east side of the river

Bowery boys are living off the street

There stands a stranger all dressed in black

Hes looking for someone - hes gonna knife em in the back

Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia

Sneaky petes using his feet, getting off the street cos

Hes got something to hide

Danger, theres a stranger

Intruding in your own backyard

But stranger, theres a danger

Dont come across nobody hard

So tough mixing it rough down in harlem

Theres no honky boys for miles around

But theres that stranger all dressed in white

Hes looking for someone

Hes gonna show em the light, yeah

Hes gonna show em the light, oh yeah

Dont feel safe using the face of fifth avenue

Pin stripe suits aint no disguise if youre not a man thats true

Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia

Sneaky petes using his feet, getting off the street cos

Hes got something to hide

Chorus
