I was sitting on my fire escape and I saw[00:00:00]
Sturdy bridges decorated with dirty pigeons[00:00:05]
A vagabond begging for three pennies and a princess[00:00:07]
A junkie tourniquet surgeon urging the needle in[00:00:10]
A batty senior citizen flashing that awful teethless grin[00:00:12]
I saw a corner store merchant rest on a milk crate with a stog'[00:00:15]
A pierced nose a model with a stalker cheap hooker jay walkers[00:00:18]
A table on a sidewalk with four old men slappin' dominos down[00:00:21]
A city a village a neighborhood a ghost town[00:00:23]
I saw vandals catching tags and Puerto Rican flags[00:00:26]
I saw a pregnant woman on the verge of bursting[00:00:28]
Boom[00:00:30]
I saw a blind man with a dog screaming someday I'll see it all[00:00:30]
And then he sat down with his hammer and saw[00:00:33]
Business men with multi colored ties cashmere checks[00:00:36]
A nazi with tattoos on his neck a vietnam war vet[00:00:39]
A caucasian man with a limp and a cane a pimp with his names[00:00:41]
A thug circus a pack of shook tourists hugging their purses[00:00:44]
I saw freaks with rainbow streaks in dayglo hair[00:00:46]
A mother smackin' the grin off her child replaced it with a stare[00:00:49]
A pothole a storefront with a broken open sign[00:00:51]
A hole in the wall bar kicking drunks to the gutter it's closing time[00:00:54]
I see a f**k up a bum knuckle up with a taxi driver[00:00:57]
A squatter a grandfather an angry right to lifer[00:01:00]
I can see the roof garden on the apartment across the street[00:01:02]
And kick myself because somewhere along the way I lost my seeds[00:01:04]
I see a rat a roach a bat approach a happy student[00:01:07]
A black man with a horn and a will to make you sit and listen to it[00:01:10]
I see a little girl on the corner with bubbles braids and barrettes[00:01:12]
I see a teen mother with similak pacifier and regrets[00:01:15]
Oh a day turned stale a hammer with a rusty nail a failed marriage[00:01:18]
A universe of brick buildings slightly off balance[00:01:21]
A challenge I see a chance to add real colors to my favorite palette[00:01:23]
Raise my mighty mallet towards the gods and swing my talons[00:01:26]
I see a crack in the sidewalk[00:01:28]
A slide show of six civilians gripping bottles of gideon[00:01:30]
Sitting inside bent meridian[00:01:32]
There's a fun house ooh a sun spout[00:01:33]
Spraying yellow beams above yellow back dreams[00:01:35]
And children in the hydrants[00:01:36]
Tyrants[00:01:38]
I see sirens[00:01:38]
The wall to the glamor standard[00:01:39]
A dead bird a bent curb[00:01:40]
I seen the slap dash habits of bike messengers paws[00:01:44]
And hug that good leaf on the way to damaged packages dependence[00:01:46]
Oh my lord I see bandwagons all aboard[00:01:49]
A carnival amusement park where a heart is a luxury[00:01:52]
I see a gas galaxy huddled behind those pearly doors[00:01:54]
Maybe I should sit up on my fire escape a little more[00:01:57]
