Don't look down
They're making sorta crazy sounds
Don't look down, no
Don't know who else came to kneel
On this empty battlefield
But when I hear that crazy sound, I don't look down
>From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
>From New York to shanty town
There's always something else
Don't look down, no
I went this morning to the cemetary
To see old Rudy Valentino buried
Lipstick traces on his name
He never looked down
'Cause they were making crazy sounds
>From Central Park to shanty town
He always heard that crazy sound
There's always something else
Don't look down, no
When I see you standing there
I can't see the clothes you wear
I just hear that crazy sound
And I can't look down
>From Central Park to shanty town
I've always heard that crazy sound
>From New York to shanty town
There's always something else
Don't look down, no
Don't look down
Don't look, don't look down
No I won't be bored I won't be there
Look at life it's no piece of cake
When I hear that crazy sound
I don't look down
>From Central Park to shanty town
I always hear that crazy sound
>From New York to shanty town
There's always something else
Don't look down
Don't look down, no
Well, don't look, don't look down
