Down the Sink (Live in Milwaukee ’19)

Cookie!
Heya, just-just cause this is a real special show
We gotta real special treat
That happens very rarely in, you know, the world of
You know, uh, us playing live (Uh)
This is a dangerous time but, okay
We're gonna get Cookie Dawg to sing one of his classic songs
It's been a couple of years
We had to push him into it
It's about time! Hey
Ahah! Hey, that's my boy!

That guy's vocal, too, thank you
And a bit of Stu's keys, as well, thanks
Alright
Good?

[Verse 1]
On the street, people make things happen
Concrete buildings greet the skyline
People meet by the subway station
Feel the heat on the concrete pavement

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basement

[Chorus 1]
Down the sink
Back and forth, follow the stream, never look down, forget all your dreams
Down you'll go
You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street
You follow the drain, spinning around again and again, again and again
Once you're in
Forget every place you've ever been, the city is dark, you'll never be clean
Down you'll go

[Refrain 1]
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die

[Verse 2]
On the beat, cops patrol the alley
People cheat one another for some
Hanging meat in the butcher's window
Bittersweet, better than the gutter

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin

[Chorus 2]
Down you'll go
Pack your stuff, follow the stream, never look down, you'll never be clean
Down you'll go
You can't compete, whatever it is, you can't defeat the pull of the street
You'll follow the drain, spinning around again and again, again and again
Once you're in
Spinning around again and again, again and again, you'll never be clean
Once you're done

[Refrain 2]
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people live
The street is where, the street is where people die
Hey!

[Outro]
Under the city, people's dreams collecting
Look down the sinkhole in the kitchen basin
Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink
Down the sink

Thank you, cheers [?]
Thank you, Dawg

Thanks, Cookie
Yeah, give it up for Cookie, come on!
All of that
