The Lyrics
I was just walking along
When I entered the bad part of the city
Now I'm lost in the ghetto
Trying to find my way home most rapidly
And avoid mugging
Dark, back alley, and I ain't brave or armed
What did I just get myself into?
Dark, back alley...dawn can't come too soon
I've got a feelin' like I'm being pursued
Out the corner of my eye
I see some folks with knives and a gun
In the night my screams and cries
Don't cause them to scatter...without my money
And my MP3
Dark, back alley..fearin' bod'ly harm
Lookin' for a cop that I can talk to
Dark, back alley...think I may meet my doom
Hope that I'm not going to be subdued
At last I see the morning light
The sun brings me extensive ecstasy
Now I'm running for my life
Down the avenue seeking rel'tive safety
And I'm so glad to leave
Dark, back alley, and I ain't brave or armed
What did I just get myself into?
Dark, back alley...dawn can't come too soon
I've got a feelin' like I'm being pursued
Dark, back alley..fearin' bod'ly harm
Lookin' for a cop that I can talk to
Dark, back alley...think I may meet my doom
Hope that I'm not going to be subdued
When I entered the bad part of the city
Now I'm lost in the ghetto
Trying to find my way home most rapidly
And avoid mugging
Dark, back alley, and I ain't brave or armed
What did I just get myself into?
Dark, back alley...dawn can't come too soon
I've got a feelin' like I'm being pursued
Out the corner of my eye
I see some folks with knives and a gun
In the night my screams and cries
Don't cause them to scatter...without my money
And my MP3
Dark, back alley..fearin' bod'ly harm
Lookin' for a cop that I can talk to
Dark, back alley...think I may meet my doom
Hope that I'm not going to be subdued
At last I see the morning light
The sun brings me extensive ecstasy
Now I'm running for my life
Down the avenue seeking rel'tive safety
And I'm so glad to leave
Dark, back alley, and I ain't brave or armed
What did I just get myself into?
Dark, back alley...dawn can't come too soon
I've got a feelin' like I'm being pursued
Dark, back alley..fearin' bod'ly harm
Lookin' for a cop that I can talk to
Dark, back alley...think I may meet my doom
Hope that I'm not going to be subdued

You're on fire... 5-5-5
This is awesome...but I think this O.S was made in the 70s, still you get 555's from here.
