Tear drops on the city
  Bad Scooter searching for his groove
  Seem like the whole world walking pretty
  And you can't find the room to move
  Well everybody better move over, that's all
  I'm running on the bad side
  And I got my back to the wall
  Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
    I'm stranded in the jungle
  Taking all the heat they was giving
  The night is dark but the sidewalk's 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
  She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
  Tenth Avenue freeze-out
  And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
  And kid you better get the picture
  And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
  And I can't go home
    When the change was made 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
  With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
  Tenth Avenue freeze-out...
