Avenue A

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鑝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
