On the street, people make things happen

Concrete buildings greet the skyline

People meet by the subway station

Feel the heat from the sidewalk pavement

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 you'll go

You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street

You follow the drain, 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 you'll go

You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street

You'll follow the drain, 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
