Well
first of all

I couldn't even see his face
I couldn't see his face
He was holding a gun in his hand
Umm I was thinking
This is a dangerous place
This is a dangerous place

I said
I'm nervous as hell from this stuffI thought those guys were going to kill me for sureThey ganged up on me like thatI couldn't believe itLook, I'm still shakin'WeirdThere out in the streets like thatIt's a dangerous placeIt's a dangerous place

So
suddenly
these two guys appear in front of me
They stopped
Real aggressive
Start at me
you know
What's that?
What's that on that tape?
What do you got there?"
I said
huh?
They said
What are you talking into that for?
I said
It's just a tape, you know
Well play it for me
I said "oh
no"
I put it off as long as I could
And finally they turned it on
you know
They grabbed it from me
Took it away from me
Turned it on
And it said
He held a gun in his hand This is a dangerous place
They said
What dangerous place?
What gun?
You're a policeman!
And the deeper I talked
the worse I got into it
I talked
I told him I said

Look man, I'm not talkin'
It went on forever
Anyway
I finally unbuttoned my shirt
and said

look, look I'm in this band, you know, I'm in this band you know,and we're makin' a recording, you knowIt's about New York City, it's about crime in the streets
The explanation was going nowhere
but

Finally
they just kinda let me go
I don't know why
So I walk around the corner

and I'm like shakin' like a leaf

and I thought
This is a dangerous place

Who should appear
but two policeman
