Story behind the song
this work was just inspired by the average sounds of life that become music
Lyrics
symphonies run through my
head throughout the day. constant
clicking of two nails covered in
acrylic and stained with paint
while I'm sitting
on a bench I believe is made of wood
on 110st Cathedral Parkway,
there's another train after this one.
ding dong! ears filled with
the notes of a homeless man
blues singers would kill to be.
"Yesterday, When all my problems
seemed so far away. . . "Gentleman's hat full of pennies
from provocative Columbia University
students that get drunk at night
and become whores in flight
that can't even tell you who
Dick Cheney is.
the bottom soles of my dunks
creating screechy patterns of
noise as i skip up the steps
back into the upper realm of the city
soothes my soul as i leave behind
"Touch me and I feel on fire,
Ain't nothin like a love desire"
breakdancing Michael Jackson
impersonators that make you
clap to this after riding past
painted rats and nicknames
for an hour on the 7 line
you wonder how
they get in there
but some of us know that
it's only a hop and skip
away from
mr.salsero with
his whorish doll
dressed up in fish net stockings,
the only time that it's okay
to have your partner's foot step on
top for yours.
the only time he could get a girl
that looks that good to be that close
to him. a hop and skip away from
cops that could beat you down
if they wanted to, if you're a girl
don't worry you can s l i d e by
at least for the first time.
and even then the stomping
of disgruntled feet against
that silver shimmer of
concrete, still creates
cacophonies of symphonies
in my head.
