Teardrops on the city, Bad Scooter searching for
his groove
Seem like the whole world walking pretty,
and you can't find the room to move
Well everybody better-move-over, that's all
Cause I'm running on the bad side, and I got my back
to the wall
Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Well I was stranded in the jungle
Tryin' to take in all the heat they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalks bright
And lined with the light of the living
From a tenement window a transistor blasts
Turn around the corner things got real quiet real
fast
I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
(and kid you better get the picture)
And I'm on my own, I'm on my own,
and I can't go home
When the change was made uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Talking about the Tenth
Eah, talking about the Tenth
I'm talking about the Tenth
Eah, talking about the Tenth, Tenth, Tenth,
Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth
Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth
I'm talking about the Tenth, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
