On the street, people make things happen Concrete, buildings creep the skyline People meet, by the subway station Feel the heat, on the sidewalk baby Under the city, people’s dreams collecting Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin Down the sink Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams Down your hole You can’t defeat whatever it is You can’t defeat the pull of the stream You fall in the dream, spinning around Again and again, again and again Once you’re in Forget every place you’ve ever been The city is dark, you’ll never be clean Bow your head The street is where, the street is where people live The street is where, the street is where people die On the beat, cops patrol the alley People cheat, one another for some Hanging meat, in the butcher’s window Bittersweet stench from in the gutter Under the city, people’s dreams collecting Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin Down the sink Back and forth, follow the stream, the city is bleak, forget all your dreams Down your hole You can’t defeat whatever it is You can’t defeat the part of the stream You fall in the dream, spinning around Again and again, again and again Once you’re in Forget every place you’ve ever been The city is dark, you’ll never be clean Bow your head The street is where, the street is where people live The street is where, the street is where people live The street is where, the street is where people live The street is where, the street is where people die Under the city, people’s dreams collecting Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin Down the sink Down the sink Down the sink Down the sink
