I can show you if you'd like to Walking down Madison - I swear I never had a gun No I never shot no-one - wouldn't do it just for fun Walking down Madison - trying to keep my head screwed on I was philosophizing some Checking out the nuns When you get to the corner don't look at those freaks Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet, oh yeah The beaming boy from Harlem with the airforce coat The ones who died The ones who tried The ones that sit and gloat From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps It's not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you'd like to Within every city and town there's a Madison Frozen lives for whom nothing's happening Hungry children is a mother's dilemma Dumpster diving to feed her baby Emma So you walk on by like it doesn't affect you The held out hand that you pay no respect to Nickels and dimes won't even buy your guilt Another wino burnt to death in his quilt It's a cardboard city, newspaper metropolis The system can't cope or keep on top of this The authorities come as you're not for display Do they solve the problem no they move him away They're in a vicious circle of no fixed abode The social won't pay 'em the money they're owed When you've got no money you can't pay rent Hypothermia kills 'cos the system is bent From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park Oh no it's not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you'd like to From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train It's not that far From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement It's not that far To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps It's not that far Would you like to see some more? I can show you if you'd like to In the subway sits a vacuous man His grip on life is a bent tin can It's a holy shrine where he burns his light It makes things easy and removes his plight For an hour or two but he can't escape They're all penned in with government tape There are good samaritans who bring the soup The sally army with their bibles and boots You can see yourself as it's not too far One short trip you don't who they are Till the night comes then it all comes back Like the smell of patchouli and the armies of rats It's a shame to be human it's a human shame It seems we've forgotten we're one and the same Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Fairytale of New York, Hes On The Beach, Innocence, Miss Otis Regrets, My Affair, They Dont Know, Titanic Days, Walking Down Madison, A New England, Free World, Perfect Day, In These Shoes?, Soho Square, Still Life, Terry, Dancing in Limbo, Fifteen Minutes, Mothers Ruin, No Victims, Tread Lightly, What Do Pretty Girls Do?, You and Me Baby, All I Ever Wanted, Halloween, He Never Mentioned Love, Maybe Its Imaginary, Complainte Pour Ste Catherine, La Foret De Mimosas, The End Of A Perfect Day, Bad, Autumngirlsoup, Celestine, Designer Life, Golden Heart, Good for Me, Head, Here Comes That Man Again, Mambo De La Luna, Nao Esperando, Things Happen, Treachery, Us Amazonians, Children of the Revolution, Lying Down, My Way Home, The Hardest Word, The One And Only, Big Boy on a Saturday Night, Dont Go Home, Just Woke Up, Other Maccoll Kirsty song Lyrics A NEW ENGLAND Lyrics All I Ever Wanted Lyrics CHILDREN OF THE REVOLUTION Lyrics Complainte Pour Ste Catherine Lyrics DANCING IN LIMBO Lyrics Days Lyrics Dont Come The Cowboy With Me, Sonny Jim!
