Like a tiger in the
jungle when the evening shadows fall
Like a
Mississippi gambler with
his back against the wall
Like a nervous old tomcat I just
don't know who I can trust
I'm wound up like a clock sprang
and I'm just about to bust
Sometime when the cold wind blows
and the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete hell and forget about everything,
but I'm trapped in the city.
It's like I'm forty feet below.
Yes, I'm trapped in the city. I
ain't got no place to go.
Over in the evening when the
smoggy sun goes down
Well the boogers and the sloggers an
d the street gangs come around
Well the ladies of the evening and
the midnight movers meet
While the wheelers and the dealers
Fight their wall out in the street
Sometime when the cold wind blows
And the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete
Hey, I left walkin' about everythin'
But I'm trapped in the city
Like I'm 40 feet below
Yes, I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go
Some time when the cold wind blows
and the rain comes pouring down
I wish I could buy me a pair of wings
I'd fly on out of this concrete hell
and forget about everything
But I'm trapped in the city
It's like I'm 40 feet below
Yes, I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go
Well, I'm trapped in the city
Like I'm 40 feet below
Yes, I'm trapped in the city
I ain't got no place to go
I got no place to go
