Tear drops 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'a take in all the heat they was giving

'Til the night is dark but the sidewalk's 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 whoa

Tenth Avenue freeze-out Tenth Avenue freeze-out
