Allen Ginsberg
New York Blues
I live in an apartment
Sink leaks through the walls
Lower east side full of bed bugs
Junkies in the halls
House been broken into
Tabetan tankhos stole
Speed-freaks took my statues, made my love a fool
Speed-freaks took my statues
Made my love a fool
Days I come home tired
Nights I needed sleep
Cockroaches climb in bed with me
My brain began to creep
My work is never done
My rest will never begin
I'll be dead and buried and never pleasure win
I'll be dead and buried, never pleasure win
Lover-boy through meat at me
Cursed the day we met
Speed freaks and bed bugs, New York City's what you get
Some day they'll build subways
Get rid of all the cars
Cops kill all the bad bugs
Speed freaks land on Mars
Cops kill all the bad bugs
Speed freaks land on Mars
