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 stuff.
I thought those guys were going to kill me for sure.
They ganged up on me like that.
I couldn`t believe it.
Look, I`m still shakin`.
Weird.
There out in the streets like that.
It`s a dangerous place.
It`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 know.
It`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
