So sly, the way you
move,
Like a hungry cat

prowling underneath
the moon,
So I must chase the

game,
Through the jungle of
confusion one more

day.

Big Daddy, he runs this

town,
Uses guns and pills
and powders just to

keep us down,
But I won't make that
deal,

Got a mind full of
muscle and a heart of
railroad steel.


Six is nine,
Black is white,

Walking through the
night of strange
delight,

One step over the line.

Operator, get me

higher ground,
In muddy water and I
fear that I might

drown,
There's a wind a-
blowing, fit to blow

me clean away,
And the night's so
wounded, keeps

bleeding into the day.

Six is nine,

Black is white,
Walking through the
night of strange

delight,
One step over the line.


Big Mama, you run this
town,
I give you long-necked

bottles and you turn
'em upside down,
But I'm gonna make

your deal,
Got a mind full of
muscle and a heart of

railroad steel.

Six is nine,

Black is white,
Walking through the
night of strange

delight,
One step over the line
