You're at the bottom of the ocean 

You're a rainy day in Queens 

You're the basement of a penthouse 

Looking up at all your dreams 

You're an elevator going down 

And coming up with ease 

We won't stop till all the power 

on the block is out and 



Everybody's screaming 

Get me outta here 

I can't breathe, I can't see 

Please don't leave me, say you need me 

Cuz I need you and me, baby please 

Get me outta here 



You hear the sirens in the distance 

You can almost see the light 

There's a dark side to this prison 

It's the sharp side to the knife 

There's a message to this rythm 

Like a stranger in your dreams 

It's intoxicating innocence 

In a sense has everybody screaming 



Most of the time 

There's a reason or rhyme 

That you can't get around 

When you run and hide 

Most of the time 

There's a reason 

You can't stay 

No, you can't take no more
