Lyrics

Jump Street

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Dawn came sneaking like a skinny snake

The harder they go the harder I ache

Get so high, got so low

Somebody tell me 'bout this debt I owe

West side bomber looked like a comer

Looked like I'll be back at school

Put two on the nose and look how she goes

Little trained squeeze look like a fool, rock on, time was gone

And I'm gone, stone gone

Said you can forget about me

And I'm gone, stone gone

Working girls just trying to get ahead

Somebody's bound to end up dead

And honey you better stop coming down on me

On me, stop, jump street

Sally comes creeping at the break of dawn

Can't figure out whose side I'm on

Moma comes back like a ringing a bell

Knows a good thing and she knows it well

Enough left alone, wish your mama had kept you at home

Wish your mama had kept the evidence

Worrying about the Feds has crucified me for dead

She wish I was dead, well, I wish I was dead

But I'm gone, stone gone

Strong as I can be

I'm gone, stone gone

Don't look much like a Saturday night

Honey don't look for those flashing lights

But baby you'd better stop coming down on me

Stop coming down, I don't need it

Stop coming down on me, oww, jump street

And I'm gone, stone gone

You can forget about me, yeah

I'm gone, stone gone, so long

Working girls just trying to get ahead

Somebody's bound to end up dead

Honey, you better stop coming down on me

Stop your coming down, stop coming down on me, yeah

Stop coming down on me, look out funk

Jump street, I've been down this way

You been a fool again

Jump street don't make a fool

Rag time girls can never touch the spot

Little uptown girls
