about

Weird song about the criminal underworld

lyrics

Five miles down the turnpike from New York
It's all downhill from here
On a black-top, under cover of midnight
Till the clouds all dissappear

There's a ticker-tape, down Main Street
And a fire alarm uptown
Don't you wonder where, the money all goes
When the big man comes around

Chorus
There's a full mooon, on the river
And a crowd down on the shore
And a face in the window
Thinking he won't
Come around here no more

Five years undercover in Memphis
Had to learn to keep my head down
Looking up, in the eyes of a stranger
From a hole down in the ground

But now the days roll on
You might feel alright
Maybe wonder how, but no-body knows
What is true, man
Or a lie
