Pedro lives out of Wilshire Hotel |
|
Looks out a window without glass |
|
Walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet |
|
The old man beats him 'cause he too tired to beg |
|
He's got nine brothers and sisters |
|
They're brought up on their knees |
|
Hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs |
|
Pedro dreams of being older killing the old man |
|
Slim chance he's going to the boulevard |
|
He gonna get in, to the dirty boulevard |
|
I'm gonna get out, to the dirty boulevard |
|
Going down, to the dirty boulevard, get it on |
|
This room cost two thousand dollars a month |
|
You believe it baby, it's true |
|
Somewhere there is a landlord living that wets his pants, wets his pants |
|
No one dreams of being a doctor or lawyer or anything |
|
They just dream of dealing on the boulevard |
|
Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor piss on 'em |
|
That's what the statue of bigotry says |
|
All you poor huddled masses |
|
Why don't you just go club 'em to death? Get it over with |
|
Dump 'em on the boulevard, and get it out now |
|
I'm going down |
|
Get it, get it, get it out |
|
Going down |
|
You ever had rage in your heart? |
|
You ever had some rage in your heart? |
|
You ever had rage in your heart? |
|
Have you ever had rage in your heart? |
|
Outside it's a bright night |
|
There's an opera, Lincoln Center |
|
The klieg lights shoot out over the Manhattan skyline |
|
But the lights are out on the mean [Incomprehensible] |
|
Small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel |
|
Selling plastic roses for a buck |
|
Traffic's backed up to Thirty-Ninth Street |
|
The TV whores are calling the cops out to get sucked |
|
Back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming |
|
Found a book on magic in a garbage can |
|
Looks at the pictures, looks up at the cracked ceiling |
|
By the count of three I'll get outta here and fly away |
|
I wanna fly, fly away |
|
I wanna fly from this dirty boulevard |
|
Fly, fly, I wanna get outta, get outta, get outta here |
|
Fly fly, fly away |
|
Fly fly, fly away |
|
Fly fly, fly away |
|
I wanna fly, fly, fly |
|
I wanna fly, fly, fly |
|
Fly away |
|
{Thank you and good night} |
