All my names on the web are relatively obscure classic rock references.

This is from Bruce Springsteen's 'Jungleland':

"The Rangers had a homecoming
In Harlem late last night
And the Magic Rat drove his sleek machine
Over the Jersey state line
Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge
Drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain
The Rat pulls into town, rolls up his pants
Together they take a stab at romance
And disappear down Flamingo Lane

Well the Maximum Lawmen run down Flamingo
Chasing the Rat and the barefoot girl"

(To make a long story short)

"In the tunnels uptown
The Rat's own dream guns him down
As shots echo down them hallways in the night"

(I actually liked 'Maximum Lawman' more, but it might give others the wrong impression of my profession)
