Underground Town
Exploring the Vibrant Tapestry of Underground Life
Lyrics
There's a family, they're selling shoes
There is a family engaged in selling shoes.
Skinny white kid playin' the blues
A young, slender white person is playing blues music.
Crazy lady cursin' the air
An eccentric woman is angrily swearing or cursing.
Tired suits just sit and stare
Weary professionals in business attire are simply observing without much involvement.
There's a body there on the floor
There is a deceased person lying on the ground.
Bunch of kids keep holding the door
A group of youngsters is preventing the door from closing or keeping it open.
Nervous nun clutches a bag
A nervous nun is tightly holding a bag.
Shakes her head at the man in drag
The nun disapprovingly shakes her head at a man dressed in women's clothing.
In the Underground town

Ridin' on the subway

In New York City
Specifically located in New York City.

It's where I want to be

Step inside and watch your feet
A cautionary instruction to be mindful of stepping inside and watching one's feet.
Catch the 'F' on Bleecker Street
Suggesting catching a specific subway line ('F') at Bleecker Street.
Every language known on earth
Diverse languages are spoken or represented in this place.
You will get your money's worth
