[Verse 1]
Teardrops on the city
Bad Scooter searching for his groove
Seem like the whole world's walking pretty
And you can't find the room to move
Well, everybody better move over, that's all
'Cause I'm running 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
Takin' all the heat that they was giving
The night is dark but the sidewalks bright
And lined with the light of the living
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, Big Man!
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]
They made that change uptown
And the Big Man joined the band
From the coastline to the city
All the little pretties raise their hands
I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half

[Chorus]
Tenth Avenue freeze-out
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
I'm talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out

[Outro]
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
Talkin' 'bout a Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Tenth avenue freeze-out
Oh yeah, it's all right
