the main line is the main drag
horsehead disgrace
Hokey ghost with liquor lips
making eyes without faith
hold out for the hollow
hold out for the highs
plowed below is a cold cold road
muddled in with your morbid jigsaw prize
chorus
put your right hand in the mire
put your right foot over mine
the tattered wings of your desire were the wreck of 99
put your left foot on the bible
swear a little more each day
sucked into a rote revival on the wings of 88
8
Pratt street is a brain trust
Telegraph is a trap
Lafayette’s full of holes and drunks
Broadway’s just pigs and prigs and cats
Hold onto the hovels
hold out for the squeeze
it’s a nasty row to hoe
you’re a nasty type to have to please
