51st Street
When he was a young boy he never went to school
he never ate his veggies
all he wanted to eat was red meat
sharp cheese
sardines
all those things that make a young man rotten
all those things that make an old man gray
he got a little older found good way out
sold some sadness to some sad sad folks
like the black tar
the red stars
white lines
all those things that make a strong man poorer
all those things that make you run away
he had to change his name one day
he had to run an hide
started making plans for a way to get by
when you're dipping in and out of your own supply
and you're looking in the mirror at another guy
wonder where your mommy is now
why you have this tummy now
found himself a sweetie
she was gone just as soon
disappeared just like the dark side of the moon
and he did it for the kill
the sweet kill
kill kill
all those things that make a man go crazy
all those things that a momma sing
oh don't you worry
don't you fear
cuz she's still here
he keeps her in the bedroom with the blinds broke down on 51st street
between meat
they cook speed
all those things that drive a man to strike a lady in anger
all those things that make her stick around
there he sits and there he waits
and he knocks on my door everyday
just to see if the pension check came his way
it's just an ugly frost is what he really wants to say
and if he wants some good times he's got plenty
yeah he's lookin in his kitchen room
oh believe me for giving too (???)
he never ate his veggies
all he wanted to eat was red meat
sharp cheese
sardines
all those things that make a young man rotten
all those things that make an old man gray
he got a little older found good way out
sold some sadness to some sad sad folks
like the black tar
the red stars
white lines
all those things that make a strong man poorer
all those things that make you run away
he had to change his name one day
he had to run an hide
started making plans for a way to get by
when you're dipping in and out of your own supply
and you're looking in the mirror at another guy
wonder where your mommy is now
why you have this tummy now
found himself a sweetie
she was gone just as soon
disappeared just like the dark side of the moon
and he did it for the kill
the sweet kill
kill kill
all those things that make a man go crazy
all those things that a momma sing
oh don't you worry
don't you fear
cuz she's still here
he keeps her in the bedroom with the blinds broke down on 51st street

all those things that drive a man to strike a lady in anger
all those things that make her stick around

and if he wants some good times he's got plenty
yeah he's lookin in his kitchen room
