Tekst piosenki
Pedro lives out of the wilshire hotel He looks out a window without glass The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet His father beats him cause hes too tired to beg Hes got 9 brothers and sisters Theyre brought up on their knees Its hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man But thats a slim chance hes going to the boulevard Hes going to end up, on the dirty boulevard Hes going out, to the dirty boulevard Hes going down, to the dirty boulevard This room cost 2,000 dollars a month You can believe it man its true Somewhere a landlords laughing till he wets his pants No one here 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 Ill piss on em Thats what the statue of bigotry says Your poor huddled masses, lets club em to death And get it over with and just dump em on the boulevard Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard Going out, to the dirty boulevard Hes going down, on the dirty boulevard Going out Outside its a bright night Theres an opera at lincoln center Movie stars arrive by limousine The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of manhattan But the lights are out on the mean streets A small kid stands by the lincoln tunnel Hes selling plastic roses for a buck The traffics backed up to 39th street The tv whores are calling the cops out for a suck And back at the wilshire, pedro sits there dreaming Hes found a book on magic in a garbage can He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling At the count of 3 he says, I hope I can disappear And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard I want to fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard I want to fly away I want to fly Fly, fly away I want to fly Fly-fly away (fly a-)Fly-fly-fly (-way, ooohhh...)Fly-fly away (I want to fly-fly away)Fly away (I want to fly, wow-woh, no, fly away)
