Lyrics
Well I'm up on 24th street
And I'm looking at a life
Standing on the corner watching people passing by
I used to be somebody, man
I used to be someone
Now I'm feeling like a bullet
In the chamber of a gun
I said:
'Tell me what you gonna do now'
Acting like you've never been had
They're saying it's the end of the world again
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
And it makes you sick
But you're still around
And you ain't too pure
And you ain't too pride
When it all goes up
And it all goes down
Orpheus descending
in the middle off the night
I am standing by the speakers
And I somehow feel alright
Girls on lower Broadway
In the summer and the smoke
I feel I'm at the wrong end man
of some one elses joke
I said:
'Tell me what you want me to do'
I feel like I got nowhere to go
Meet me at the end of the world again
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
And it sucks your soul
But you hang around
And you ain't too poor
And you ain't too pride
When it all goes up
And it all goes down
Yeah !
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
And it makes you sick
But you're still around
And you ain't too poor
And you ain't too pride
To get your kicks
In a lovesick town
When it all blows up
And it all goes down
And your late night friends
don't come around
Well the times is right
And the time is now
When it all goes up
And it all goes down
