Down In The Street - Tim Buckley

Down in the street

There’s a gunshot warnin'

Here comes that blue parade

Ready to save the day

Down in the street

There’s a whole block burning

Shout out for rent control

I ride the gang patrol

Oh it’s just another sign

That summer’s comin'

City wars and flash floods and tornados

Festivals for rock and roll season

Beach talk baseball and a handy houshold hymns

Yes it’s true in the U.S. of A

There’s lots of room at the top

Oh but you can’t sit down

On, no you can’t sit down

And don’t you know that boudoir

Looks just a ball and chain

Oh, no you can’t sit down

All through the night

You hear gunshot warnings

This time it wasn’t you

Paid your dues

All through the night

You hear the city moaning

But be a tomcat prowling

Baby, your stomach’s growling

Oh, it’s just another sign

That summer’s comin'

City wars and flash floods and tornados

Festivals for rock and roll season

Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns
