Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Tear drops on the city

Bad Scooter searching for his groove

Seem like the whole world walkin' pretty

And you can't find the room to move

[PreChorus]

Well, everybody better move over, that's all

'Cause I'm runnin' on the bad side

And I got my back to the wall

[Chorus]

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

[Verse 2]

I was stranded in the jungle

Tryin' to take in all the heat they was giving

Till the night is dark, but the sidewalk bright

And lined with the light of the living

[PreChorus]

From a tenement window, a transistor blasts

Turn around the corner, things got real quiet real fast

[Chorus]

I walked into a Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

[Bridge]

And I'm all alone, I'm all alone

And kid, you better get the picture

And I'm on my own, I'm on my own

And I can't go home

[Verse 3]

When the change was made uptown

And the Big Man joined the band

From the coastline to the city

All the little pretties raise their hands

[PreChorus]

I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh

When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

[Chorus]

With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

[Outro]

I'm talking about the, tell me

Yeah, nothing but a, tell me

I'm talking about the, tell me

Ain't nothing but a Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth

Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth

Tenth, Tenth, Tenth, Tenth

Tenth, I'm talking about the Tenth

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out

Tenth Avenue freeze-out
