Lyrics
Walking down Madison, I swear I never had a gun
No, I never shot no one, I was only having fun
Walking down Madison, swear I never had a gun
I was philosophizing some, checking out the bums
So you give 'em your nickels, your pennies and dimes
But you can't give 'em hope in these mercenary times
Oh no
And you feel real guilty about the coat
On your back and the sandwich you had
Oh no
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep in the park
Oh no, it's not that far
I can show you if you'd like to
Walking down Madison, I swear I never had a gun
No, I never shot no one, wouldn't do it just for fun
Walking down Madison, trying to keep my head screwed on
I was philosophizing some, checking out the nuns
When you get to the corner, don't look at those freaks
Keep your head down low and stay quick on your feet
Oh yeah
The beaming boy from Harlem with the Air Force coat
The ones who died, the ones who tried, the ones that sit and gloat
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
I can show you if you'd like to
From an uptown apartment to a knife on the A train
It's not that far
From the sharks in the penthouse to the rats in the basement
It's not that far
To the bag lady frozen asleep on the church steps
It's not that far
I can show you if you'd like to
