The Corner of Mott and Canal

about

Spend a summer Sunday in Chinatown in New York and this will all make total sense.

lyrics

Taxi took a tumble
Times Square is on fire
Take the hobo subway
down town
dim sum for breakfast
columbus park's alive
but the hobo isn't
wanted around

The air is like
an un-nessercary overcoat
sell your aunty for
a drop of rain
walk a mile in my shoes
and there'll be nothing left
hide all the headlines
I'm going insane

The old timers are inspiring
with their far east twang
random percussion fills
my heart
The discovery that there
are still things
that can knock you off your feet
is not a solution but it feels
like a start

This heat is like
The devil's come ashore
and these street's will run with sulphur pretty soon
I don't know how you have
the energy to sing so high
hang the lanterns and roll out the dragon beneath a chinatown moon.
