Tim Buckley — Down In The Street

Down in the street There's a gunshot warnin' Here comes that blue parade Ready to save the day Down in the street Man, the whole block's burnin' How's that for rent control? High rise and gang patrol; Oh, it's just another sign That summer's comin' City wars and flash floods and tornadoe Festivals for rock and roll season Beach talks, baseball and handy household hymns; Yes it's true in the U.S. of A There's lots of room at the top Oh but you can't sit down On, no you can't sit down And don't you know that boudoir? Looks just a ball and chain Oh, no you can't sit down All through the night You hear gunshot warning This time it wasn't you Paid your dues; All through the night You hear the city moaning But be a tomcat prowling Or maybe, your stomach growling; It's just another sign That summer's comin' City wars and flash floods and tornados Festivals for rock and roll season Beach talks, baseball and handy household hymns (Fade)
