lyrics

Four alarm fire in the southeast ward
Didn't make no headlines cause them folks are poor
And I saw helicopters flyin' to show it on TV
The noise and the smoke descended like a heavenly jubilee

Next day at the diner, "Say, did you hear the news?"
"Scandal in city council, and a higher tax on booze."
I am a rat without an exit in a circular maze
But I can scurry down the avenues and the darkening alley ways

And I can go 40 on my moped, I'm walkin' miles with these feet
My brand new city life ain't so bad, livin' on the dark side of the street

Chain smokin' on my door step watchin' cars go by
It's Saturday in the city under a stone-gray sky
And Florida Avenue is lovely this time of day
All the pimps and the gangsters are still asleep three blocks away

Well I used to gaze on miles of country
I could see for days, those days are gone!
I never considered myself a hard one, now I got me a knife
I'm a brand new man my mama wouldn't recognize - but that's okay
