* Paradise In Distress


Spiralling Leapers, Wearing Nike Sneakers


Some Of Them Laugh, Some Of Them Sing


Some Of Them Don’t Do A Goddamn Thing


Trip-skipping Drifters, Grafters And Lifters


Chicks With Big Tits, School Boys With Zits


Moonlight Circus Of Earthly Delights


Pimpmobile Cruising The Soft, Velvet Night


Deals Going Down, Midnight In Town


Donw In The Subways, The Underground Tunnels


A Musician Is Playing, A Drunk Stumbles And Mumbles


Out In The Park It’s Scary With Frights


Somebody Shot Out All The Streetlights


Hookers And Bookies, Floozies And Boozers


All Kinds Of Misfits, Perverts And Losers


Out Of The Limo That Looks Like A Boat


The Pimp Steps Out In A Mink Fur Coat


Sporting A Fedora, That Creates Its Own Aura


A Ruby-tooth Grin And A Diamond Stick Pin


A Deal’s Going Down This Side Of Town


People Walk On Fleet Feet


On The Way Down 42nd Street


Except For The Bums, Down For The Count


That One’s Dead But No One’s Found Out


And Look At The Bitch, With Her Dress Up Her Ass!


When She Moves That Thing, She Must Move It Fast


Cop With A Nightstick, Checking Around


A Neon Lit Junkie Slides To The Ground


Here Comes A Flasher, A Jogger, A Punk


Check Out That Guy, Drunk As A Skunk!


Blinking, Reflection, Lights Melt In The Rain


The Sidewalks Are Empty, Nothing’s The Same


4 A.M. People Are Crashing


Where The Hookers Are Huddled


Colored Raindrops Are Splashing


The Deals Have Gone Down, The Bimbo’s Split Town


Burned From The Hustle, Burned From The Hype


But Under The Lights, I’m Feeling Alright


On 42nd Street It’s Just Another Night
