| Paris Gardens, East Central 1
|
| little piece of heaven, a piece of the sun
|
| Card sharks, hustlers, damaged goods
|
| Wasted youth and these baby hoods
|
| Get on board the train, we’re going down
|
| Coming home again, we’re the talk of the town
|
| Dustbins banging on the wall, cat drags his tail down the hall
|
| Men are fighting in the street
|
| This is the life of the people I meet, out on my street
|
| Lawyers and bankers, cleaners and clerks,
|
| Winos, junkies, liars and jerks
|
| Doctors and jewelers and dogs that glow
|
| This is the life, these are people I know
|
| Riding on a wave, and we’re looking down
|
| Nothing left to say, still the talk of the town
|
| Dustbins banging on the wall, cat drags tail down the hall
|
| Men are fighting in the street
|
| this is the life of the people I meet out on my street
|
| German Pinschers selling porky pies
|
| mystic gurus hand them alibis
|
| Somewhere here there’s a symphony
|
| Oh baby please, must be you and me Dustbins banging on the wall, cat drags his tail down the hall
|
| Men are fighting in the street, this is the life of the people I meet
|
| Out on my street
|
| Angry neighbors kiss their bawling kids
|
| Macho men hide under bonnet lids
|
| Tough nuts, wrestlers, and barroom brawls,
|
| Velvet mafia make that call |
