Tenth Avenue Breakdown

(앨범: Slow Motion - 2002)

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 trying to run, but my legs have gone numb
It's like I'm messing 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 getting 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 feeling 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 getting late we can't afford to wait
It's getting late we can't afford to wait

It's getting late we can't afford to wait
It's getting late we can't afford to wait

It's getting late we can't afford to wait
It's getting 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
