Stranger Lyrics

[00:25.61] Down down down town, east side of the river
[00:33.07] Bowery boys are living off the street
[00:39.14] There stands a stranger all dressed in black
[00:45.68] He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in the back
[00:51.41] Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
[00:57.94] Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
[01:02.72] He's got something to hide
[01:07.21] Danger, there's a stranger
[01:11.86] Intruding in your own backyard
[01:16.46] But stranger, there's a danger
[01:21.65] Don't come across nobody hard
[01:26.11] So tough mixing it rough down in Harlem
[01:33.67] There's no honky boys for miles around
[01:39.52] But there's that stranger all dressed in white
[01:46.19] He's looking for someone
[01:48.93] He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah
[01:52.02] He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah
[02:20.37] Don't feel safe using the face of Fifth Avenue
[02:26.59] Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true
[02:32.90] Hit man, G-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the CIA
[02:39.42] Sneaky Pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos
[02:44.12] He's got something to hide
[02:48.62] Danger, there's a stranger
[02:53.20] Intruding in your own backyard
[02:57.79] But stranger, there's a danger
[03:02.86] Don't come across nobody hard
[03:06.96]
