Lyrics

There goes Danny dynamite in the prime of her life
walking city streets trying trying to pick up a light
There's machine gun Mary at the back of the hall-
Selling bad bullets in the bathroom stall-
There's Jackknife Judy and Singapore Sam-
Walking those streets hand in hand-
They owe Columbia Records a couple a grams
All getting by as best they can-

Celebrating OUR rebirth down on
21st Street
Yeah we living it up down on
21st Street
We're All just trying to beat the heat

There goes Jungle Gym Joe yelling yellow submarine
boys at the courts making shit show scenes
Someone's always yelling something obscene
and someone's always selling some American dream-
celebrating OUR rebirth down on 21st
Street
Yeah we living it up down on 21st Street
We're All just trying to beat the heat

It's either hot and sticky or unbearably cold-
no ones getting younger-but you don't got to grow old
Got Freddie fireworks giving out that skin
With fifth ave Annie and her predicament
Hands heal wounds like lips to hot soup
And the gospel on the corner is a traveling troupe
Preachers not going out - the way he came in-
its a cover song sermon on original sin-
It's a race against something they been calling time
is it one long circle or one short line?
