Did you see the color of the water coming out of the tap?
Did you hear the chatter of the hammer
When youre trying to nap?
Theres nothing on the counter at the a&p store
The bank dont even bother now to open the door
It aint pretty, pity

Abandon city
Everybody over the side
The hour is late, theyre closing the gate, no time to decide
Abandon city
Yeah, you better run for your lives
Theres nothing to spare
The cupboard is bare
The bees have all left the hive

Someones doing a non-stop performance
Of the rape of the lock
No ones got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven oclock
And everybodys looking for a piece of the rock
And I just want to get my cadillac out of hock
Too much nitty gritty
