don't feel like laughing now
I could use a laugh and howl, I could use a telephone all alone,
me and my old radio
Got a lot of nerve, all right,
not what I de serve tonight
We ought to get together,
tell that so -and -so
Shakin' the big apple tree,
barkin' for a bite, you see
Sun is up on
New
York town, honkin' round,
run down my battery
Drop me off at
Walk
Don't
Walk, it's about another block
An d it's been lovely here on
Wall
Street
There is just nothing but ash in the air
Confetti all colored with blood
The jewel encrusted,
mud -flattened hearts
She's beaten and battered
and buttressed and broke
Dining on drags gone begging
No joke
Confetti, desire
And in the confetti is human desire
Love letters lost in space
Now smoke
The mouth of the river
Yawning south
To the sea
In this cloud of disarray,
the taut man in grey
Upside down and rolling hands with his paint,
why wait for speculation?
Like two stones they gravitate, there's no time to hesitate,
just time to say I love you.
Two flaming birds on fire,
they kiss their lives goodbye
Above the concrete street,
we meet in dying
Without a trace of our embrace,
you can't place my face, though you are trying
Till dust will stop our labored love,
we must drop all fear, now a -flying.
A heartbeat from the
Hudson down to the sea.
You
