Bad Scooter searching for his groove
 Seem like the whole world walking pretty
 And you can't find the room to move
 Well everybody better move over, that's all
 I'm running on the bad side
 And I got my back to the wall
 Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out

 I'm stranded in the jungle
 Taking all the heat they was giving
 The night is dark but the sidewalk's bright
 And lined with the light of the living
 From a tenement window a transistor blasts
 Turn around the corner things got real quiet real fast
 She hit me with a Tenth Avenue freeze-out
 Tenth Avenue freeze-out
 And I'm all alone, I'm all alone
 And kid you better get the picture
 And I'm on my own, I'm on my own
 And I can't go home

 When the change was made uptown
 And the Big Man joined the band
 From the coastline to the city
 All the little pretties raise their hands
 I'm gonna sit back right easy and laugh
 When Scooter and the Big Man bust this city in half
 With a Tenth Avenue freeze-out, Tenth Avenue freeze-out
 Tenth Avenue freeze-out
