Track 5. NYC

lyrics

There's a big thunderstorm over New York City, curled up with Ellroy and Pirate Jenny. Kurt Weill's stuck in immigration. First to disappear is the Chrysler building. We're doomed. The dog needs walking he's still not exhausted from the clatter of unshot birds. Saturday morning we're cartoon stoned. The bird she bathes, the batman he kerpows. We're saved. Hey, I missed the landing. I'm still drunk and slightly wiser. Touched by the ocean we touched last year. And hey, the tip of the aeroplane's wings have hidden the Empire State. I saw it once from the ground where once that tremor burned. Wonder what he's writing on his airsick bag? The saucer-eyed holler baby's gone to sleep. The people from New Jersey on the Jack the Ripper tour. Is it easy to get roomed in an Earl's Court Bar? We're doomed. At the verge of the reservoir we said things we briefly felt. I said it once at your house where once that tremor burned. Bertolt Brecht rolls his R's so everyone is scared. Bertolt Brecht smokes cigars so everyone is saved.
