Lyrics

YOU GONNA TAKE A WALK DOWN ON THE DARK SIDE
INTO THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF FEAR
YOU GONNA MEET A LOT OF MEAN IN THE BACK STREETS
IF YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE PEOPLE DOWN HERE

FAST RONNIE SLICED HIS DADDY AT THE TABLE
IN A SCUFFLE FOR THE LAST SLICE OF BREAD
AND HIS DADDY DIED BLEEDING ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR
WITH THE BREAD KNIFE STICKING IN HIS HEAD

IN THE ALLEY RUNNIUNG BY THE RAILWAY
THERE'S A DUDE WITH A NEEDLE IN HIS ARM
HE COULDA BEEN A MAN AND HE COULDA HAD A LIFE
IF HE'D JUST STAYED WORKING ON THE FARM

YOU GONNA TAKE A WALK DOWN ON THE DARK SIDE
INTO THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF FEAR
YOU GONNA MEET A LOT OF MEAN IN THE BACK STREETS
IF YOU'RE MESSING WITH THE PEOPLE DOWN HERE

DON'T GO DOWN... DOWN DOWN DOWN DON'T GO DOWN... DOWN DOWN DOWN
DON'T GO DOWN WITH THE BOTTOM FEEDERS FEEDING ON THE BOTTOM
DON'T GO DOWN

DIRTY CAROL HASSELING HEAVY DOWN ON BRUNSWICK
GOTTA BLOW ANOTHER PUNTER FOR A SCORE
WAS A GRADE A STUDENT WHEN SHE STEPPED OFF THE TRAIN
BIT THAT CAROL DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE

MICKY RUNNING WITH A GANG DOWN IN CHINATOWN
USED TO DREAM OF PLAYING TRUMPET IN A BAND
BUT WHEN HIS MOMMA DIED HALFWAY DOWN A BOTTLE OF GIN
HE HIT THE STREET WITH A CANON IN HIS HAND

DON'T GO DOWN.... etc.

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE

THERE'S A FAT MOON DRIPPING ONTO DOWNTOWN
BUT IT DOESN'T LIGHT THE SHADOWS WHERE THEY HIDE
RENT BOYS LAWYERS BEGGAR MEN THIEVES
AND THEY'RE ALL DOING BUSINESS IN THE NIGHT

IF YOU'RE WALKING IN THE CITY AFTER MIDNIGHT
IN THE SHADOW OF THE VALLEY OF FEAR
THEN YOU'D BETTER NOT STRAY DOWN FORTITUDE WAY
CAUSE THE BOTTOM FEEDERS FEEDING DOWN HERE

DON'T GO DOWN...
