lyrics

The dirt mall's gotten smaller, since we found it years ago. Another empty glass, a city street, about to blow. And I don't think I'd ever drawn a breath, before that day. I guess that you and I are both compelled by chaos, in our own alarming ways. These dumpster diving brothers lead a slighter life than mine, abandoning our baskets for a clearance sale outside. Attention, blackout shoppers, fill your cups and bags with feed. I have long believed that everyone should always get exactly what they need. Seriously. Til they caught me stealing Benzies, by the pouch, and six or seven days, they let me out. On Sunday morning, 8AM, this city safe and sweet. There's nothing but the bums and rags, and me, along your street. I wait til noon, I scrounge a quarter, drop your man a line. I guess that even the city that never sleeps is bound to stop, and take a nap, and even a guy who's sly like I am is bound to get a finger pinched, sometime.
