"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 things
	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, fly, fly away)
	fly, fly, fly (Fly, fly, fly away)
	Fly, fly away (Fly, fly, fly away)
	fly away (Fly, fly, fly away)
