Teardrops 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 quiet 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 change 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
With the Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
