Pale male the famous redtail hawk performs wingstands high above midtown Manhattan
Circles around for one last pass over the park
Got his eye on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of pigeons
They got no place to run they got no place to hide
But pale male hes cool, see cause his breakfast aint goin nowhere
So he does a loop t loop for the tourists and the six oclock news
Got him a penthouse view from the tiptop of the food chain, boys
He looks up and down on fifth ave and says God I love this town
But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals struggle so
We laugh and cry
And live and die
Thats how it goes
For all we know
Down here below
I saw Joe Mitchells ghost on a downtown A train
He just rides on forever now that the Fulton fish markets shut down
He said they aint never gonna get that smell out of the water
I dont give a damn how much of that new money they burn
Now hells kitchens Clinton and the bowerys Nolita
And the east villages creepin cross the Williamsburg bridge
And hey, whatever happened to alphabet city?
Aint no place left in this town that a poor boy can go
But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals struggle so
We laugh and cry
And live and die
Thats how it goes
For all we know
Down here below
Pale male swimmin in the air
Looks like hes in heaven up there
People sufferin everywhere
But he dont care
But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals, struggle so
We laugh and cry
