Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One, two, three, go
Lay down
[Verse 2]
Teardrops on the city, Bad Scooter searchin'
For his groove
Seem like the whole world's walkin' pretty and you can't
Find the room to move
[Verse 3]
Well, everybody better move over, that's all
'Cause I'm runnin' on the bad side and I got my back to the wall
[Verse 4]
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, hit it
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
[Verse 5]
I was stranded in the jungle
Takin' all the heat they was givin'
Yeah, the night is dark and the sidewalk's bright
And lined with the light of the living
[Verse 6]
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast
[Verse 7]
I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out (Stop it now)
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
[Verse 8]
And oh
I'm on my own, big man
And oh
I'm on my own
And I can't go on
[Verse 9]
You made that change out town
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
The little pretties raise their hands, backs and hands out there
[Verse 10]
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in
[Verse 11]
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, talkin' 'bout it
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, I talk about a tenth
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, I talk about a tenth
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, find out what I'm talkin' 'bout
[Verse 12]
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, I'm talkin' but a tenth
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, that's what I wrote the song about
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, I'm talkin' about a tenth
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, bed time, hey
[Verse 13]
Bang
Hey
Whoa, yeah, it's alright
Yes, it is
