it's amazing what thoughts one conjures up whilst walking along one of manhattan's most historic streets. this is what happens when the legend and the truth collide with a wide-eyed youngster watching and dutifully taking notes.

we've been had, we've been had
where art thou, dear friends
we've been tossed around, recycled, replaced
by the weekend warriors, the bridge and tunnelers
whitewash has begun

it's a call to the freaks and the geeks
and the strays, the pride of. St mark's
the factory once stood and we danced in paradise
and we danced

dismayed and betrayed, we've cheated by time
too young to reminisce yet too angry to blend
now we're simply scenery, trash they tossed aside
what would hilly say...

it's a call to the freaks and the geeks
and the strays, the pride of st. mark's
the bowery kept the beat while debbie swept us our feet
and we danced

dancing's a public danger
a blight in bloomy's eye
the spirit, the soul, the cash grab
at varvatos', it's all for sale
