There's a family, they're selling shoes
skinny white kid playin' the blues
crazy lady cursin' the air
tired suits just sit and stare
There's a body there on the floor
bunch of kids keep holding the door
nervous nun clutches a bag
shakes her head at the man in drag
In the underground town
ridin' on the subway
in new york city
underground town
it's where i want to be
Step inside and watch your feet
catch the 'f' on bleecker street
every language known on earth
you will get your money's worth
