At first conception, you didn't feel the change,
From a quiet human being, to a violent, bloody rage
It'll make a rich man, curse the day he was born,
And many lives are scattered, battered and torn

Everybody wants you on Basin Street,
They smile and call you over on Basin Street
Everybody's dancin' on Basin Street,
They don't need nobody on Basin Street, yeah

Take me to the City, the City of the East,
I need to find the old man, who stands on Basin Street
He's got my tonic, I can't seem to get enough,
And if you're feelin' wimpy, this stuff'll make you tough

Everybody wants you on Basin Street,
They smile and call you over on Basin Street
Everybody's dancin' on Basin Street,
They don't need nobody on Basin Street, yeah
96 Basin Street, 96 Basin Street

(ride)

Big Brother's watchin', he's lookin' for a bust,
In the land of passion, there's no one you can trust
Just a word of caution, get out while you can,
'Cause tomorrow you'll be cryin', you're the Sacrificial Lamb

Everybody wants you on Basin Street,
They smile and call you over on Basin Street
Everybody's dancin' on Basin Street,
They don't need nobody on Basin Street, yeah
96 Basin Street, 96 Basin Street (ride on out)
