Lyrics:
Street
In July
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle
"How bout some foreplay?"
Got that, got plenty
I got you
Then you say
"Play some slow whine" (music)
Got that Sade, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye
Have I got the deal for you
Would you like to have a T-bone steak and lobster
Served on the finest china
Accompanied by a bottle of the world's
car.
The ambulance came right away.
Across the street, I heard him say:
"Al I got hit by a car,
You're a good friend Al, that's what you are."
Street
In July
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by
The great big city's a wondrous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle
No one on the streets and the city is quiet
I should be asleep by the heat of the fire
But I'm on my way out
And I'm gonna stay out
I can feel
The Magic Point (Bitter Green Dream)
In an emerald city, in a bitter broken dream,
In an emerald city, in a bitter broken dream,
decaying by
I'd never met you, but I wanted
To invite you to the party
Then you walked in with those green eyes
Never stolen by nobody
And they flicker
By way to Overtown and look at this city
Open to Grove and the South Miami
Wedwood Highlear, look Eddie, look 'Bana
Some many ice P-Rhymes rich
see how life has changed
I'm blunted, you wanna see life's meaning?
On the radio, Al Green, while Mom's cleanin'
Mom's singing along with the songs
Wilson, Wilson
Wilson, Wilson
Wilson
Once upon a time there was a mountain
That rose out of a vast green forest
And in the forest there were birds
In London city where I did dwell
A butcher boy, I loved right well
He courted me, my life away
But now with me, he will not stay
I wish, I
The deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads around their necks
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night
dawn came, we sat and prayed that the sun would go back hidden
But by that time it was too late
They already came - to push the green away
With a dozen
a gritty fiend for,
Money, power, respect, get it by any means uh,
New Yorker, slick talker, walk like a brick flipper,
Decimal doctor, multiply to get
I will wait for you in the green, green spaces,
Wearing our post-industrial faces.
Side by side sit the trashpile twin,
And the eleventh century
city, yeah
Ass shakin', givin' head
Ain't no more county, product of the feds
Flag green, the cutters red
Now watch, I cut up like Sherhonda, yeah
The deer woman in a silk dress
Girls with beads around their necks
Kiss the hunter of the green vest
Who has wrestled before
With lions in the night
'Crisco and Oakland
Keep some grizzly city can’t
Forget what home is
Still my money crumble like sour D's
At a hundred mile per hour speed
I’ll be damned if
I close my eyes and see the sea
Mediterranean blue and green
And in my dreams I dive
Far below the surface breaking
The smell of pine overtakes me
Won't you leave your green wallpaper
And the clock upon the wall
And lock your doors up one by one
Come running down the hall
Come along and sing
Lions in the street and roaming
Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
A beast caged in the heart of a city
The body of his mother
Rotting in the summer
I'm smoking everywhere I go
(No sticks, no seeds, just Al Green)
I always gotta keep one rolled
(I keep that, need that, got that)
I'm blowin' every
[Verse]
In the neon city lights, we collide
Our hearts are glowing in the dark, side by side
We dance to the rhythm of the emerald night
Love so
