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


Trying to take in all the heat they was giving


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 quite 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 changes 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


Wïth the Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out


Tenth Avenue freeze-out...
