Well, first of all,

I couldn't even see his face.

I couldn't see his face.

He was holding a gun in his hand.

Umm... I was thinking...

This is a dangerous place..

This is a dangerous place..



I said, "I'm nervous as hell from this stuff.

I thought those guys were going to kill me for sure.

They ganged up on me like that.

I couldn't believe it.

Look, I'm still shakin'.

Weird.

There out in the streets like that.

It's a dangerous place.

It's a dangerous place."



So, suddenly, these two guys appear in front of me.

They stopped.

Real aggressive.

Start at me, you know.

"What's that?" "What's that on that tape?"

What do you got there?"

I said, "huh?"

They said, "What are you talking into that for?"

I said, "It's just a tape, you know"

"Well play it for me"

I said "oh, no"

I put it off as long as I could.

And finally they turned it on, you know

They grabbed it from me.

Took it away from me.

Turned it on.

And it said, "He held a gun in his hand. This is a dangerous place."

They said, "What dangerous place?" "What gun?" "You're a policeman!"

And the deeper I talked, the worse I got into it.

I talked, I told him... I said, "Look man, I'm not talkin'...."

It went on forever.

Anyway, I finally unbuttoned my shirt, and said,

"look, look... I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know,

and we're makin' a recording, you know.

It's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets..."

The explanation was going nowhere, but,

Finally, they just kinda let me go, I don't know why.

So I walk around the corner,

and I'm like shakin' like a leaf,

and I thought, "This is a dangerous place"



Who should appear, but two policeman.
