On the Bus Mall |
In matching blue raincoats our shoes were our show boats we kicked around |
From stairway to station we made a sensation with the gadabout crowd |
And oh, what a bargain we’re two easy targets for the old men at the off-tracks |
Who’ve paid in palaver and crumpled old dollars which we squirreled away In our |
rat trap hotel by the freeway |
And we slept-in Sundays |
Your parents were anxious your cool was contagious at the old school |
You left without leaving a note for your grieving sweet mother while Your |
brother was so cruel |
And here in the alleys your spirits were rallied as you learned quick to make a |
fast buck |
In bathrooms and barrooms on dumpsters and heirlooms we bit our tongues, |
sucked our lips into our lungs till we were falling |
Such was our calling |
And here in our hovel we fuse like a family |
But I will not mourn for you |
So take off your makeup and pocket your pills away |
We’re kings among runaways on the bus mall |
We’re down on the bus mall |
Among all the urchins and old Chinese merchants of the old town |
We reigned at the pool hall with one iron cue ball and we never let the |
bastards get us down |
And we laughed off the quick tricks the old men with limp dicks on the |
colonnades of the waterfront park |
As 4 in the morning came on, cold and boring, we huddled close In the bus stop |
enclosure enfolding |
Our hands tightly holding |
And here in our hovel we fuse like a family |
But I will not mourn for you |
So take off your makeup and pocket your pills away |
We’re kings among runaways on the bus mall |
We’re down On the bus mall, we’re down on the bus mall |
Down on the bus mall, oh oh |
