City

Ah, faith! Golly gosh, life in the city! Hustle and bustle n' a big metro wander Exhaustion, life, anger and pretty gritty Misty, grimy lights loudly grab a beggar The sidewalk shops like a cold surround Hot action, big ole' vanilla sidewalks Graffiti walls, in dab color bound Hot streets quietly grab nighthawks Where is the sunny cloud vapors? In downtown burg retreats Out above on dark street skyscrapers Crestin' over in mean dark streets U' gotta love corner words Chatter, rattle, natter, prattle People jabber like yakkety-yak birds Cigarettes gab under dark doorway shadow Gazing in windows calmly at low down In dusty, dry walk-in cafes Grimy flowers grab at dead grass mown Fish eyeing brutal building facades, near dead eye alleyways Oh, noise! Man like a machine Never like a jackhammer that annoys The faceless toiler that is mean and lean Horn noise, action, in a 'crown vic' Cabbies scowering for revenues While crashing, dashing in street quick O' life in bright light big city blues Within the blah blah blah, heart of the city You can endure all that jazz you wish it to be
