Tim Buckley Down In The Street
Down in the street
There's a gunshot warnin'
Here comes the blue parade
Ready to save the day
Down in the street
Man, the whole block's burning
Outraged for rent control
I ride the gang patrol
Oh, it's just another sign that summer's coming
City wars, flash floods and tornadoes
Festivals for rock ?n? roll season
Beach talk, baseball and a handy household hymns
Yes, it's true in the U.S. of A
There?s lots of room at the top
Oh, but you can't sit down
Oh no, you can't sit down
And don't you know that boudoir
Looks just like a ball and chain
Oh no, you can't sit down
Oh no, you can't sit down
All through the night
You hear gunshot warnings
This time it wasn't you
You never paid your dues
All through the night
You hear the city moaning
Must be a tomcat prowling
Or maybe your stomach growling
It's just another sign that summer's coming
City wars, flash floods and tornadoes
Festivals for rock ?n? roll season
Beach talk baseball and a handy household hymns
Summertime, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Summertime, summertime
Summertime, summertime
