Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm up on twenty-fourth street and I'm lookin' at a life
Standin' on a corner, watchin' people passin' by
I used to be somebody, man, I used to be someone
Now I'm feelin' like a bullet in the chamber of a gun
[Verse 2]
I said, "Hey, tell me what you're gonna do now
You're actin' like you never been had
You're sayin' it's the end of the world again"
[Verse 3]
When it all blows up
When it all goes down
When it makes you sick
But you're still around
When you ain't too pure
And you ain't too proud
When it all blows up
And it all blows down
[Verse 4]
Orpheus descendin' in the middle of the night
Well, I'm standin' by the speakers and I somehow feel alright
There's girls on lower Broadway in the summer and the smoke
I feel I'm at the wrong end man, of someone else's joke
[Verse 5]
I said, "Hey, tell me what you want me to do
I feel like I got nowhere to go
Meet me at the end of the world again"
[Verse 6]
When it all blows up
When it all goes down
When it sucks your soul
But you hang around
When you ain't too poor
And you ain't too proud
When it all blows up
And it all blows down
[Verse 7]
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Alright
[Verse 8]
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
When it makes you sick
But you're still around
And you ain't too pure
And you ain't too proud
Just to get your kicks
In a lovesick town
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
And your late night friends
Don't come around
When the time is right
And the time is now
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
[Verse 9]
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Do, do, do, do
Yeah
