Well, I was raised in the street
A city boy, if you please
I probably forgot more than you'll ever be

No doubt about it

You gotta bop down, down the street Hey!

You afraid of those creeps?
Guardian angels are what we need
New York City police are so sweet


In cold blood
In cold blood


Well you probably think I'm pretty mad
Just because I like it down there

Well don't you worry, dear
You'll never end up dead


In cold blood

Well no one here gets out alive

Living here, it's suicide
Avenue A you might survive
Riverton you'll finally die


In cold blood
In cold blood
