Downtown
Platform cheek to cheek
the paper hides the morning geeks
signs read in shock speak
sunglassed to the knees
the drive for sex so sleek
it rushes 42nd Street
In doorways and hotel rooms
ghosts of Broadway loom
hawking used blue dreams
to haygirls and escapees
get your killer lights your shade
three-card monte babe
Downtown, downtown
In high heels and violet
sits a dream girl Chanel fat
in the arms of the Regency Hyatt
chardonnay and sun hat
black cigars, grey lapels
a yellow cab ride from hell
In the cracked Brooklyn glass
Muhammed's face does dance
in bomb ticks from time past
star-sickened romance
eyes, heat, life, chance
the subway snakes the tenements
The roulette train squeals
the leopard lights feel
hour of the neon queen
night bows to kiss her ring
the bebop piper kneels to play
The King Kong Serenade
In death's drag best
Muhammed's fate is dressed
the park dark ahead
our dream girl tempting red
tag, bang, night, bad
mad tango with her head
Chalk, tape, flashworks
paunched detectives work
mutant tabloid Jesus men
digging in with pen
no weapon seen
they say he killed her with the street
Platform cheek to cheek
the paper hides the morning geeks
signs read in shock speak
sunglassed to the knees
the drive for sex so sleek
it rushes 42nd Street
the paper hides the morning geeks
signs read in shock speak
sunglassed to the knees
the drive for sex so sleek
it rushes 42nd Street
In doorways and hotel rooms
ghosts of Broadway loom
hawking used blue dreams
to haygirls and escapees
get your killer lights your shade
three-card monte babe
Downtown, downtown
In high heels and violet
sits a dream girl Chanel fat
in the arms of the Regency Hyatt
chardonnay and sun hat
black cigars, grey lapels
a yellow cab ride from hell
In the cracked Brooklyn glass
Muhammed's face does dance
in bomb ticks from time past
star-sickened romance
eyes, heat, life, chance
the subway snakes the tenements
The roulette train squeals
the leopard lights feel
hour of the neon queen
night bows to kiss her ring
the bebop piper kneels to play
The King Kong Serenade
In death's drag best
Muhammed's fate is dressed

Platform cheek to cheek
the paper hides the morning geeks
signs read in shock speak
sunglassed to the knees
the drive for sex so sleek
it rushes 42nd Street
