Shattered
shattered
Love and hope and
sex and dreams
Are still surviving
on the street
Look at me
I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered
Shattered
Friends are
so alarming
And my lover's
never charming
Life's just a
cocktail party
on the street
Big Apple
People dressed in
plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of fashion
Shattered
Laughter joy
and loneliness
And sex and sex and
sex and sex
Look at me
I'm in tatters
I 'm a shattered
Shattered
All this
chitter chatter
Chitter chatter
chitter chatter
about
Shmatta shmatta
shmatta
I can't give it away
on 7th Avenue
This town's been
wearing tatters
Work and work
for love and sex
Ain't you hungry
for success success
success success
Does it matter
Shattered
Does it shatter
I'm shattered
I'm a shattered
Look at me
I'm a shattered
yeah
Pride and joy
and greed and sex
That's what makes
our town the best
Pride and joy
and dirty dreams
And still surviving
on the street
And look at me
I'm in tatters
yeah
I ve been shattered
what does it matter
Does it matter
uh huh
Does it matter
uh huh
I'm a shattered
Don't you know
the crime rate
is going up
up up up up
To live in this town
You must be tough
tough tough
tough tough
You got rats
on the west side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this
town's in tatters
I've been shattered
My brain's been
battered splattered
all over Manhattan
Uh huh
This town's full of
money grabbers
Go ahead
Bite the Big Apple
don't mind
the maggots
huh
Shadoobie
My brain's been
battered
My friends they
come around they
Flatter flatter

flatter flatter

Pile it up
pile it high
on the platter
