The Fire Down Below

Here comes old Rosie

she's looking mighty fine

Here comes hot Nancy

She's steppin' right on time

There go the street lights

bringin on the night

Here come the men

Faces hidden from the light

All through the shadows

Ah, they come and they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Here comes the rich man

in his big long limousine

Here comes the poor man

all you got to have is green

Here comes the banker

and the lawyer and the cop

One thing for certain

it ain't never gonna stop

When it all gets too heavy

That's when they come and they go

they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Yeah, It happens out in Vegas

happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston

Up in Berkeley and out in Queens

And it went on yesterday

and it's going on tonight

Somewhere there's somebody

ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie

she's looking mighty fine

And he's walking the streets for Nancy

And he'll find her everytime

and When the street lights flicker

bringing on the night

Well they'll be slipping into darkness

slipping out of sight

All through the midnight

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, ah go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

ah burning down below

Yeah, It happens out in Vegas

happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston

Up in Berkeley and out in Queens

And it went on yesterday

and it's going on tonight

Somewhere there's somebody

ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie

she's looking mighty fine

And he's walking the streets for Nancy

And he'll find her everytime

and When the street lights flicker

bringing on the night

Well they'll be slipping into darkness

slipping out of sight

All through the shadows

Watch'em come and watch'em go oh they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Oh they got one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Only got one thing in common

They got the fire down below
