Two Gallants - 16th St. Dozens

cops & junkies hurl their sophistries
adhd hail cacophony
try not hard to shake this off of me
howl you fools, it's all for naught

but on 16th street we wait for holiness,
vaccinate ourselves from loneliness,
masquerade through homes of homelessness -
& oh i hope we'll not get over this

here the now is now upon us -
everyone must share this onus,
ancients have no more to loan us,
all our debts unpaid -

on 16th street we rise in numbers
once a name now just a number
scream for all the unsaid, unheard prisoners on parade
sweet dolores mi mamasita
seems each day i still remeetya,
disculpame mi pobrecita,
guess i left things incomplete,

but all this noise will soon be over
so let's drink until you're halfway sober
red rover's already over
but the last thing that we need is closure,

now it's time for us to swallow all this loss until tomorrow
pay back all the time we've borrowed
anger well displayed

on 16th street we fall in numbers
no one questions, no one wonders
scream for all the unsaid, unheard hoodlums on parade
