  {t:Dirty Boulevard}

  {st:Lou Reed}

  

         [G]Pedro lives [D]out of the [A]Wiltshire Ho[D]tel

         He looks out a [G]window without [D]glass[A][D]

         The [G]walls are made of ca[D]rdboard, news[A]papers on his fee[D]t

         His father beats him 'cos he's t[G]oo tired to [D]beg..[A][D]

  

         He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees

         Its hard to run when a coathanger beats you on the thighs

         Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man

         But thats a slim chance, he's going to the boulevard..

         

         {c:Chorus}

         He's going to end up on the Dirty Boulevard

         He's going out on the Dirty Boulevard

         He's going down to the Dirty Boulevard

         [chords once through]

  

         This room cost $300 a day you can believe it man its true

         Somewhere a landlords laughing till he wets his pants

         No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything

         They dream of dealing on the Dirty Boulevard

  

         Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on them

         That's what the statue of bigotry says

         Your poor huddled masses lets club 'em to death

         Get it over with and just dump 'em on The Boulevard

         

         {c:Repeat Chorus}

  

         Outside it a bright night there's an opera at Lincoln Centre

         And movie stars arrive by limousine

         The kleig light shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan

         But the lights are out on the mean streets

  

         A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel

         He's selling plastic roses for a buck

         The traffics backed up to 39th Street

         The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck

  

         Back at the Wiltshire,Pedro sit there dreaming

         He's found a book on magic in a garbage can

         He looks at the pictures and stares up at the cracked cieling

         "At the count of 3" he says "I hope I can disappear"

         And fly fly away....

  

         {c:Repeat and fade}
