Down the Sink
11 plays
Gumboot Soup
On the street, people make things happen
Concrete, buildings greet the skyline
People meet, by the subway station
Feel the heat, on the sidewalk pavement
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin
Down the sink
Back and forth, follow the stream
The city is bleak, forget all your dreams
Down you'll go
You can't compete whatever it is
You can't defeat the pull of the street
You follow the drain, spinning around
Again and again, again and again
Once you're in
Forget every place you've ever been
The city is dark, you'll never be clean
Bow your head
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die
On the beat, cops patrol the ally
People cheat, one another for some
Hanging meat, in the butcher's window
Bittersweet stench from in the gutter
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin
Down the sink
Back and forth, follow the street
The city is bleak, forget all your dreams
Down you'll go
You can't compete whatever it is
You can't defeat the pull of the street
You follow the drain, spinning around
Again and again, again and again
Once you're in
Forget every place you've ever been
The city is dark, you'll never be clean
Bow your head
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the plughole in the kitchen basin
Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink
