Fire Down Below - Richie Havens

Here comes old Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

Here comes hot Nancy, she's steppin' right on time

There goes the street light bringin' on the night

Here comes the men, faces hidden from the light

All through the shadows

They come and they go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Here come the rich man in his big old limousine

Here come the poor man, all he's got to have is green

Here come the banker, lawyer, cop

One thing for certain, it ain't never gonna stop

Hey, in the shadows

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, yeah

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

It happens out in Vegas, it happens in Moline

On the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley, out in Queens

It happened yesterday, it's gonna happen tonight

Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

And he's looking out for Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

And he's looking out for Nancy, she'll be right on time

Ooh, those street lights

Ooh, through the midnight

All through the shadows

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go, yes

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Well, it happens out in Vegas, in happens in Moline

In the blue blood streets of Boston, up in Berkeley, out in Queens

Happened yesterday, it's gonna happen tonight

Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right

Here comes old Rosie, she's lookin' mighty fine

There goes Nancy, she's steppin' right on time

Ooh, those street lights

Oh, through the midnight

All through the shadows

Watch 'em come and watch 'em go

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

With only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

There's only one thing in common

They got the fire down below

Fire down below, fire down below

Fire, fire down below, fire down below

Fire, fire down below, fire down below

Fire down below, fire, fire down below

Fire, fire, fire down below

They got the fire down below

They got the fire down below
