Avenue A lyrics

Benny got a new tattoo
Down at the St. Mark`s Zoo

He walked down to the park
Drinkin 40`s, till it`s dark
Talkin to a grey haired man
In a tie-dyed shirt and ragged pants
He said,
That`s where the hippies used to play
Down on Avenue A

Susie got a new pair of shoes
Now she don`t know what to do

So she`s sitting in the Park
Smokin pot till it`s dark
Talking to a toothless man
With spiky hair
And leather pants
He said,
I knew Stiv in the day
And that`s where the junkies used to play
Down on Avenue A

When every memory is gone
and everything you know is wrong

Takin the edge off on a beautiful day
with a Frappacino and a cr?e brulee
yeah, it`s all over when you see a Range Rover
and to my bodega, I say hasta luega

it`s not what you do, it`s what you say
and it`s not who you know, it`s who you pay

Down on Avenue A
