A E
Caught between the twisted stars, the plotted lines, the faulty map
D
That brought Columbus to New York

Betwixt between the East and West, he calls on her wearing a leather vest

The earth squeals and shudders to a halt

A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the fear

Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped

Outside the streets were steaming the crack dealers were dreaming

D
Says Little Joey Diaz
A E
Brother give me another tote, those downtown hoods are no damn good

Those Italians need a lesson to be taught
A E
This cop who died in Harlem, you'd think they'd get the warning

I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag, with Latin written on it that says
D
"It's hard to give a shit these days"

Manhattan's sinking like a rock into the filthy Hudson, what a shock

D E
And something flickered for a minute and then it vanished and was gone
