The Fire Down Below

Lyrics

[Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] With only one thing in common They got the fire down below [Verse 2] Here come the rich man in his big long limousine Here come the poor man, all you got to have is green Here come 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) [Refrain] With only one thing in common They got the fire down below [Bridge] Yeah, it happens out in Vegas, and it 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 [Verse 3] 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 every time 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 (Oh, go) [Refrain] With only one thing in common They got the fire down below Oh, burning down below [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] 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 every time 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 We'll watch 'em come and watch 'em go (Oh, they go) [Refrain] 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 [Outro] One, two, three
