Dirty Boulevard
(专辑: Endless Sleep (Chapter 46) - 2015)
Pedro lives out of the
Wilshire hotel He looks out a
window without glass The
walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet His father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg He's got nine brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees It's hard to run when a
coat hanger beats you on the
things Pedro dreams of being older and killing the
old man But that's a
slim chance he's going to the
boulevard He's going to end up, on the
dirty boulevard He's going out, to the
dirty boulevard He's going down, to the
dirty boulevard This room cost 2,000 dollars a
month, you can believe it man it's true Somewhere a
landlord's laughing till he wets his pants No one here dreams of being a
doctor or a
lawyer or anything They dream of dealing on the
dirty boulevard Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em That's what the
statue of bigotry says Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death And get it over with and just dump 'em on the
boulevard Going to end up, on the
dirty boulevard Going out, to the
dirty boulevard He's going down, on the
dirty boulevard Going out Outside it's a
bright night, there's an opera at Lincoln center Movie stars arrive by limousine The
klieg lights shoot up over the
skyline of Manhattan But the
lights are out on the
mean streets A
small kid stands by the
Lincoln tunnel He's selling plastic roses for a
buck The
traffic's backed up to 39th street The
TV whores are calling the
cops out for a
suck And back at the
Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming He's found a
book on magic in a
garbage can He looks at the
pictures and stares at the
cracked ceiling "At the
count of three" he says, "I hope I
can disappear" And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard I
want to fly, from dirty boulevard I
want to fly, from dirty boulevard I
want to fly, fly, fly, fly, from dirty boulevard I
want to fly away I
want to fly Fly, fly away I
want to fly Fly, fly away Fly, fly, fly Fly, fly away Fly away...
