Pale male the famous red tail hawk performs wing stands
High above midtown Manhattan
Circles around for one last pass over the park
Got his eye on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of pigeons
They got no place to run they got no place to hide

But pale male he's cool, see cause his breakfast ain't going nowhere
So he does a loop t loop for the tourists and the six o'clock news
Got him a penthouse view from the tip-top of the food chain, boys
He looks up and down on fifth ave and says
God I love this town

But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals struggle so
We laugh and cry and live and die
That's how it goes for all we know
Down here below

I saw Joe Mitchell's ghost on a downtown A train
He just rides on forever now that the Fulton fish market's shut down
He said, they ain't never gonna get that smell out of the water
I don't give a d___ how much of that new money they burn

Now hell's kitchen's Clinton and the bowery's Nolita
And the east village's creeping across the Williamsburg bridge
And, hey, whatever happened to alphabet city
Ain't no place left in this town that a poor boy can go

But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals struggle so
We laugh and cry and live and die
That's how it goes for all we know
Down here below

Pale male swimming in the air
Looks like he's in heaven up there
People suffering everywhere
But he don't care

But life goes on down here below
And all us mortals, struggle so
We laugh and cry
