Everytime I See Him

Thinks he's a tough guy
Superfly
Stays high
Sneakin' down the alleyway to make another buy
Talkin' 'bout a big deal
Big wheel
Nothin's real
Wouldn't know the truth if it looked him in the eye

Sneakin' out the back door
Top floor
Dirt poor
You know the boys gonna get hisself in jail
Living on the back street
Concrete
Fast feet
Lost in the jungle with the tiger by the tail

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
And everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Midnight siren
What's it mean
Bad dreams
Shiverin' and shakin' in the middle of the night
Doin' that cold sweat
In debt
Upset
Hidin' in the back room keepin' out of sight

Walkin' that tough walk
Jive talk
Double cross
Sneakin' down the side street hidin' from the sun
Makin' them big plans
Business man
Also-ran
Gonna make a million but he never gets it done

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
And everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Thinks he's a lover boy
Super joy
Tough toy
Thinks he's kinda sexy but the ladies say he ain't
Nothing but a no class
Jiveass
Movin' fast
Wants to be a winner but the money says he can't

After hours nightspot
Whatcha got
Hot shot
Gotta keep movin' just to keep from going down
The boy won't ever learn
Slow burn
Overturn
End up in a coffin buiried six feet in the ground

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
And everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high

Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's just barely getting by
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
Everytime I see him
He's down there getting high
