You are Not a Ghost Town
Boom-bang despierta despierta
high peaks rascacielos
stores money money money clubs
Human misery miseria
You seduced me with your fast paced walk
Horny greedy motherfucker my love mi amor.
Times Square dirty pretzels overpriced everything carajo.
Gazillion restaurants fresh coconuts en las bodegas
Italy in the Bronx PuertoRicans con su guaguanco
Living in the streets while celebrities pretend to hide their diamond glittering
United Nations in the house while the South Bronx was burning down
What Now?
Horny greedy motherfucker mi amor my love
your dirty streets from Broadway to 125.
The New York Times howling at El Diario la Prensa
Nueva Yol
Your bleeding now
Don’t cry for me, yo soy New York Tu eres Mi Nuyol los 5 Boroughs y en control.
