1
Buildings an' people down under the skies,
2
I walk down the street lookin' out through my eyes,
3
I'm getting so skinny it hurts to sit down,
4
I'm deep in the well, I'm in the rat trap town.
5
Where it's dirty for dirty, it's an eye for an eye,
6
it's a tooth for a tooth an' a sigh for a sigh
7
an' ev'rything's edgy like musical chairs
8
an' ev'ryone's lookin', but who really cares?
9
Well, I'm tryna get up, tryna laugh in my head,
10
I'm walkin' on eggs and I'm climbin' on thread.
11
There's motors an' traffic an' racket an' horns;
12
my weary ol' stairway is wobbly an' worn.
13
There a hissin' of heaters an' bangin' ol' pipes,
14
screaming of women an' laughin' all night,
15
there's babies a-cryin' an' somebody's dog,
16
he's barkin' so loudly, there's a man in the hall...
17
Hell, it's some kinda lunatic followin' me.
18
He's down by the john so I can't take a pee.
19
I'm 's'posed t' be happy, I'm here where it's at,
20
I'm a face in the crowd, I'm a big city cat.
