Gentle rain is falling downrubbish trucka rumbling soundclacking heals and rolling lightshissing wheelsand empty nightsnighttime in the city and a siren soundsacross the wayeverything is prettyin it's old familiar dirty wayhanging in the air across the road apartmentsfill the skymillion little liveslit up husbandsand their screaming wivesglowing neon signs that saycome and give yourlife awaygirls all drearydroll and drabfall down to their knees and prayin the citythere's a bum down by the old highwayand unheard screamswill float awayit's dank and darkin central parkwhere the rent boys all come out to playthere's a little girl being lead awayby a lonely man who went astraythere's a thousand screaming weeping sobsand a million drunks without no jobsbottles grind into supple faceand rapists leer at victim's macefists are thrown and miss and bounceclawing children kick and pouncerich kids bounce around for kicksgetting high off glue and smoking stickstheir parents slum and slur aroundpull poor children to the groundin the cityin the cityin the citywhere I sleeppoetry runs low through halls rolls along with drunk catcallsgirls and boys touch, rub and smearolder folks slide low and hearTV's blare and dead-eyes stareLoyal pets will get no careNeighbours with no sense of smellPreaching sinners saved from hellRoaring music braces earsSwallowed pills chase swollen tearsHeated blades that slice and searYoung dead men who had no fearShots peel out and bells are rungSoulful lonely songs are sungPeople die and children bornAnd one by one each step is worn.
