There's a room with no bed in the heart of the ghetto Where the rags and words lie still There's a room with a chair in the heart of the city But only memories sit there Princelet street in the heart of the ghetto Still Katz sells bags and strings Calling you back are the streets of the ghetto Climb the stairs where you're from There's a room at the top of the heart of the ghetto Where the gypsy's been and gone
Oh streets always watching Oh ghosts always watching
Saying them prayers by edge of the city And now it's time to move on New voices talk in the heart of the ghetto Make a little money move on Memory thieves in the heart of the ghetto Don't want ghosts movin' on But the gypsy's on the loose in the heart of the city And now ya see he move on
Oh streets always watching Oh ghosts always watching
Listen to the street move on Letters and numbers move on See him there then he gone See him there then he gone See him there then he gone See him there then he gone
