Parable of NYC/Ode to NYC/Ballad of NY
Subway schedule is changing today
Up on the street they say 'fuck'
Grab a coffee, a bagel, a cab
How long have you been here?
How long will you stay?
Fish are swimming in the garbage today
(Up in the tree the birds scream) Down in the drain they say 'fuck'
Stare at the lights, the crowds, the cowboy
How long have you been here?
How long will you stay?
What about ...
ReplyDeleteThe curtain is falling tonight
Down on the pit, the orchestra blooms
Clap fot the good, the worth, the genius
How long have you been here?
How long will you stay?
Free drinks for girls tonight
up on your feet, high heels danse
Jump for a kiss, a smile, a punch
How long have you been here?
How long will you stay?
Fish are swimming in the garbage today
(Up in the tree the birds scream) (Down in the drain they say 'fuck') Up in the tree, the shoes swing
Stare at the lights, the crowds, the cowboy ( Step on the light, the crowd, the whirl)
How long have you been here?
How long will you stay?
