The Lowdown 2
Michael:
For two weeks there's been rumors that the cops are rounding up
All the junkies and the druggies, but no one knows for what
Now some say it’s all just rumors, but now Katy knows it's not
Since her girl there Sheila’s the latest party girl to be caught
Katy was damn lucky 'cause she escaped the raid
and that's 'cause she was uh... shooting up out on the fire escape
She hid up on the roof and though she was in a daze
She watched them take poor Sheila and a bunch of other folks away
So Katy’s scared and frightened and she runs back to her place
To sit and hide and lose herself in her favorite drug’s embrace
And wonder what she's made of, can she step up, can she even cope
'Cause this broken little junkie might be Sheila’s only hope
