|
| [00:17.23] |
Skinny little brats |
| [00:19.44] |
Walking down Avenue A |
| [00:21.37] |
Dangling their cigarettes |
| [00:23.45] |
Their Independence Day |
| [00:25.46] |
Tears like filigrees |
| [00:27.69] |
Wear them on their sleeves |
| [00:29.71] |
Nobody's main squeeze |
| [00:31.73] |
It's thirty-five degrees |
| [02:26.02][00:33.71] |
Poetry of ordinary life |
| [02:30.18][00:38.48] |
Is what I live for |
| [02:33.58][00:41.36] |
They just wanna be seen |
| [02:35.72][00:43.73] |
They just wanna be heard...said |
| [02:54.47][02:38.05][00:46.00] |
My words are like Confetti |
| [02:58.61][02:41.90][00:50.14] |
And you never pick them up |
| [03:02.47][02:45.91][00:53.92] |
They fall onto the ground |
| [03:05.73][02:49.29][00:57.49] |
I need someone to lift me up |
| [01:09.37] |
So diaphanous, so ephemeral |
| [01:13.48] |
And all those bad words |
| [01:15.62] |
They never learned in school |
| [01:17.63] |
Groovy like my mamma was |
| [01:19.64] |
In her black turtle neck |
| [01:21.72] |
She was so high strung |
| [01:23.79] |
She was so low tech |
| [01:25.58] |
Poetry and tattooed dreams |
| [01:29.45] |
And fourteen caret nose rings |
| [01:33.39] |
The children of elite |
| [01:35.75] |
Are trying to be street saying |
| [01:37.84] |
My words are like confetti |
| [01:41.97] |
And you never pick them up |
| [01:45.86] |
They fall onto the ground |
| [01:49.13] |
I need someone to lift me up |
| [01:54.38] |
My words are like confetti |
| [01:58.47] |
And you never pick them up |
| [02:02.33] |
They fall onto the ground |
| [02:05.53] |
I need someone to lift me up |
