[00:06.69]Things are different today, back in New York
[00:13.72]I lived down on Third Street Way back in the day
[00:20.52]There were junkies, pimps and whores, hallelujah
[00:27.46]Now it's squeaky clean, there's no place left to stay

[02:10.09]That's why I find talk is square, they ask me if I cared
[02:15.82]Gimmie back that apple in decay!
