Lyrics for Dirty Blvd. by LOU REED:
| | | Artist: | LOU REED |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Dirty Blvd. | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 98 | | | | Lyrics: | Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
He looks out a window without glass
The walls are made
of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
His father beats him 'cause he's too tired to
beg
He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees
It's hard to run
when a coat hanger beats you on the things
Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old
man
but that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard
He's going to end up, on the
dirty boulevard
He's going out, to the dirty boulevard
He's going down, to the dirty
boulevard
This room cost 2,000 dollars a month, you can believe it man it's
true
Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
No one here dreams of being a
doctor or a lawyer or anything
they dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
Give me
your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
That's what the Statue of Bigotry
says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
and get it over with and just dump
'em on the boulevard
Going to end up, on the dirty boulevard
Going out, to the dirty
boulevard
He's going down, on the dirty boulevard
Going out
Outside it's a bright
night, there's an opera at Lincoln Center
Movie stars arrive by limousine
The klieg lights
shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
But the lights are out on the mean streets
A
small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
He's selling plastic roses for a buck
The traffic's
backed up to 39th street
The TV Whores are calling the Cops out for a Suck
And back at
the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can
He looks
at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
