Down Here Below - Steve Earle[00:00:00]
Pale male the famous redtail hawk performs wingstands high above midtown Manhattan[00:00:25]
Circles around for one last pass over the park[00:00:32]
Got his eye on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of pigeons[00:00:36]
They got no place to run they got no place to hide[00:00:40]
But pale male he’s cool see ‘cause his breakfast ain’t goin’ nowhere[00:00:46]
So he does a loop t loop for the tourists and the six o’clock news[00:00:50]
Got him a penthouse view from the tip-top of the food chain boys[00:00:55]
He looks up and down on fifth ave and says “God I love this town”[00:01:00]
But life goes on down here below[00:01:07]
And all us mortals struggle so[00:01:17]
We laugh and cry[00:01:24]
And live and die[00:01:30]
That’s how it goes[00:01:34]
For all we know[00:01:37]
Down here below[00:01:39]
I saw Joe Mitchell’s ghost on a downtown A train[00:01:43]
He just rides on forever now that the Fulton fish market’s shut down[00:02:01]
He said they ain’t never gonna get that smell out of the water[00:02:06]
I don’t give a damn how much of that new money they burn’[00:02:11]
Now hell’s kitchen’s Clinton and the bowery’s Nolita[00:02:17]
And the east village’s creepin cross the Williamsburg bridge[00:02:22]
And hey whatever happened to alphabet city [00:02:27]
Ain’t no place left in this town that a poor boy can go[00:02:31]
But life goes on down here below[00:02:38]
And all us mortals struggle so[00:02:46]
We laugh and cry[00:02:56]
And live and die[00:03:01]
That’s how it goes[00:03:06]
For all we know[00:03:08]
Down here below[00:03:11]
Pale male swimmin’ in the air[00:03:18]
Looks like he’s in heaven up there[00:03:23]
People sufferin’ everywhere[00:03:28]
But he don’t care[00:03:31]
But life goes on down here below[00:03:37]
And all us mortals struggle so[00:03:46]
We laugh and cry[00:03:55]
