See my face you know where I've been - walking in jungle

Cruising down boulevard part of the race taking a tumble

Love in that stranger still fearing that danger
Still crying in some avenue and soon the hate will be there too


CHORUS
Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels

Life in the big apple moves very fast

Cops on route are hot in pursuit as windows are shattered

Cafe and arcade are teeming with loot the sidewalks are scattered
Walking down highways just seeing things my way
While dealer man enjoys his wealth you spare the rope he'll hang

himself

CHORUS

Life in the big apple moves very fast and so must you
Do like the others do and don't you drag your heels
Life in the big apple moves very fast
