(clarke / sylvester / hicks)   Down down down town, east side of the river   Bowery boys are living off the street   There stands a stranger all dressed in black   He's looking for someone - he's gonna knife 'em in the back   Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia   Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos   He's got something to hide      Danger, there's a stranger   Intruding in your own backyard   But stranger, there's a danger   Don't come across nobody hard      So tough mixing it rough down in harlem   There's no honky boys for miles around   But there's that stranger all dressed in white   He's looking for someone   He's gonna show 'em the light, yeah   He's gonna show 'em the light, oh yeah      Don't feel safe using the face of fifth avenue   Pin stripe suits ain't no disguise if you're not a man that's true   Hit man, g-man, con man, watch it man, he might be from the cia   Sneaky pete's using his feet, getting off the street 'cos   He's got something to hide      Chorus
