Lyrics:
"Downstream" by The Rainmakers from _The_Rainmakers_
----------------------------------------------------
Well, me and Mark Twain were having us
Best
And how it got him so far
The prince of pleasure lost his crown
By getting high and getting down
The alcoholic anti-hero's
Visibly scarred
Come
a connection to Christmas music and it began in early childhood spurred on by three things. My culture, my family, and my city. I'm a born and raised new Yorker.
Well I tried to cross that river, but the water just went up
It's gettin' harder for a man these days to keep himself afloat
When I was young down by
THE FAIR MAID BY THE SEA SHORE
(words: traditional, music: Lissa S.)
source: “The Maine Woods Songster” edited by Phillips Barry, 1939
There was
my roots
my hook’s stuck there
clinging to the air
winding down my oars
breaking all my faith
with faces I wore
feed me with your love
Give me more
I'm still alive I lay my life down for my city
And I know when I die I cannot take nothing with me
But I pray to the Most High
Lord please save my city
the city
Bitches be suckin and
First night fuckin up in the city
Police be rolling and
Foot patrolling in the city
When the shit go down
Better have yo heat
When my heart is torn apart
by love I wish I had,
Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights
and things don't seem so bad.
Ya know
You got one life, you gotta live it slow, You're the main character, it's your show
Ridin' down the coast with the top down
King of my city, I wear
before
we pulled a boat down to the dock and stole two steady oars
i pushed you off into the dark: acrisius favours
and from above the great
drown in the town where life is too gritty
Welcome to Vice City
Vice City, welcome to Vice City
Vice City, no trial by committee
You don't want to hear
The city is ours
The city is ours
Rollin' past graffiti walls,
Billboards lighting up the block
Everyone of us on a mission
Got a whole crew by my
of a twisted nation
Guess this is what you're facin (Facin!)
Chorus:
When night falls (When the sun goes down) over the city (Over the city)
Gotta be ready
made
On a hot summer night
'Cause when a long-legged lovely walks by
Yeah you can see the look in her eye
Then you know that it's
Hot in the city
They burnt the place down
The City Scum
They burnt the place down
The scene near by
It’s a violent one
Where they grade your papers
With a loaded gun
You
that it'd
Be a friendly gesture for us to take the garbage down to the city dump
So we took the half-a-ton of garbage, put it in the back of a red
it with ease
Then an oar came down
Struck the water
Bad luck struck us down
Bruised, removed you
Brought you to shore
Before they came for you
(4,3,2,1)
Is the city spinnin' fast?
T-Minus 4, 3, 2, 1 blast
5 Star dinner chandelier peeled off the glass
I was
In New York City trippin' of a tab
make their graves
Placed there by messengers
Angels and sirens
Very important people
VIP rooms smell of piss and potential
The ecstasy of chance flickers
He smiled and said, sometimes at night I walk out by the river
The city's one big town, the water turns it upside down
People found this city
When I was a girl, I wished I was a boy
I had a dog, I wished it was a horse
We lived by the freeway, I thought it was the ocean,
Sounded like
the city cabe, city babe
You had me out here in the
Local clubs showing out
With my girls all dressed down
Memories cloud my mind
Wilding till the morning
Sunrise by the river
On a cold November day
I saw a paper bag floating by
That was my papa
I saw a violet in the grass
That was my mama
And looking down ha
