  • Don't look down
    They're making sorta crazy sounds
    Don't look down no
    Don't know who else came to kneel
    On this empty battlefield
    But when I hear that crazy sound
    I don't look down
    From Central Park to shanty town
    I always hear that crazy sound
    From New York to Shanty Town
    There's always something else
    Don't look down...no

    I went this morning to the cemetery
    To see old Rudy Valentino buried
    Lipstick traces on his name
    He never looked down
    'Cause they were making crazy sounds
    From Central Park to Shanty Town
    He always heard that crazy sound
    There's always something else
    Don't look down...no

    When I see you standing there
    I can't see the clothes you wear
    I just hear that crazy sound
    And I can't look down
    I've always heard that crazy sound
    From New York to Shanty Town
    There's always something else
    Don't look down...no
    Don't look down
    Don't look...don't look down

    No I won't be bored I won't be there
    Look at life it's no piece of cake

    When I hear that crazy sound
    I don't look down
    From Central Park to Shanty town
    I always hear that crazy sound
    From New York to Shanty Town
    There's always something else

    There's always something else
    Don't look down...no
    Don't look down
    Don't look...don't look down Writer/s: ARISTAZABAL EMI CHEN HAWKES, FYFE DANGERFIELD HUTCHINS, GREG STEWART, RICARDO BOMBINE PIMENTEL
