Something Heavy Going Down Lyrics

On the streets that go by number
Still can't figure out how to get home
There is no life lines, only dead lines
Sure picked a fine time to be bornFirst you taste it then you're wasted
By the time you're almost
Sixteen years oldEverything used to be so simple
Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd partThere's fist on the door
I can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubtThere's something heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something heavy going downOn a midnight operation
When the searchlights make your skin crawl
My reaction to the action
Is I don't wanna be doing this at allBreaking rules that are made in schools
That teach you how to be successfulUsed to be, oh so simple

Like the beating of a heart
Dedicated to my little darling
Right until the day we'd partThere's fist on the door
I can hear it knocking
Gotta check it out
Beyond a shadow of a doubtThere's something heavy going down
There's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going downSomething heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going downSomething heavy going down
And there's more to it than a rocket and a bomb
There's something going downSomething heavy going down
And there's more to it than a pistol and a gun
There's something going down, down, down, down, yeah
Something heavy going down
