"Hylan Blvd."
Poor decisions on a Saturday night
It's alright
Cause the change will never seem so sudden
Manuscript revisions that you've made in the light
Don't seem right
Because the tape's still running
How they've stayed alive and still continue to be
Well, it's baffling to me
They're like a ghost ship out on the sea
And it's a mystery...
Staring at the sky to get a message from God
On Hylan Blvd
Cause life was never meant to be so hard
On Hylan Blvd
Chanting mantras in the middle of the night
It's alright
Cause the fires will have to keep on burning
All the business have taken a hit
From all that New Dorp shit
Part of the process of learning
Hair is going grey and every day you say you're getting away
Part of the price that you pay
Patience expired and you're tired
And yet you still can't see
Who you're starting to be
You never thought that you would stray so far
From Hylan Blvd
Because you're cursed and it defines who you are
On Hylan Blvd
Staring at the sky to get a message from God
On Hylan Blvd
Cause life was never meant to be so hard
On Hylan Blvd
They're coppin' bags down at the pool hall
And Bobby Hill's got someone on the ground
From Tysen's Park we're runnin' down to the pool hall
Right past the Saw Saw house...
