Dirty Blvd. |
| 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 9 brothers and sisters |
| They’re brought up on their knees |
| It’s hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs |
| 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 |
| Get 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 3» 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 a-) |
| Fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh…) |
| Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away) |
| Fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away) |
