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