Dirty Blvd. |
| Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel |
| He looks out a window without glass |
| And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet |
| And 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 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 gonna 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 two thousand dollars a month |
| You can believe it, man, it’s true |
| Somewhere there’s a landlord’s laughing till he wets his pants |
| No one 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 |
| He’s gonna end up on the dirty boulevard |
| He’s going out to the dirty boulevard |
| He’s going down to the dirty boulevard |
| 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 up 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 wanna fly from the dirty boulevard |
| I wanna fly from the dirty boulevard |
| I wanna fly, fly, fly, fly from the dirty boulevard |
| Fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| Fly away |
| I wanna fly, fly, fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| I wanna fly away |
| From the dirty boulevard |
| From the dirty boulevard |
| I wanna fly |
| From the dirty boulevard |
| Fly, fly, fly |
