You are looking to win it
But not taking it in
Uppers give you heart impotence
But dont tell you anything
People are saying you are losing your feel
Pretend you don't hear
Holed up in white Harlem
Your conscience and you
You might need sympathy
But thats not what I'd tell you
Your winning days long ago
Don't let it show
Pretend you don't know
You're walking on marble
It's scorching your feet
How can the small town big shot boy get enough to eat
People are saying you're losing your feel
Pretend you don't hear
Holed up in white Harlem your conscience and you
You might need sympathy but thats not what I'd tell you
Your winning days long ago
Don't let it show
Pretend you don't know

Don't come any closer
Don't come any closer
Don't come any closer
You're looking to win it ,can't taking it in
Penthouse celebrity Yes
But watch what you eat
People are saying you're losing your feel
Pretend you don't hear
Holed up in white harlem your conscience and you
You just need sympathy but thats not what I'd tell you
Your winning days long ago
Don't let it show
Pretend you don't know
You are looking to win it,but not taking it in
