G D A D
[Verse 1]
G D A D Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel G D A D He looks out a window without glass G D A D The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet G D A D And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg
[Verse 2]
G D A D He's got 9 brothers and sisters, they're brought up on their knees G D A D It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs G D A D Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man G D A D But that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard
[Chorus]
G D A D He's going to end up, on the dirty boulevard G D A D He's going out, to the dirty boulevard G D A D He's going down, to the dirty boulevard
G D A D
[Verse 3]
G D A D This room cost 2,000 dollars a month, you can believe it man it's true G D A D Somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants G D A D No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything G D A D They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard
[Verse 4]
G D A D Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em G D A D That's what the Statue of Bigotry says G D A D Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death G D A D And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard
[Chorus]
G D A D Get em out, on the dirty boulevard G D A D Going out, to the dirty boulevard G D A D They're going down, on the dirty boulevard G D A D Going out...
[Verse 5]
G D A D Outside it's a bright night, there's an opera at Lincoln Center G D A D Movie stars arrive by limousine G D A D The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan G D A D But the lights are out on the mean streets
[Verse 6]
G D A D A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel G D A D He's selling plastic roses for a buck G D A D The traffic's backed up to 39th Street G D A D The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck
[Verse 7]
G D A D And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming G D A D He's found a book on magic in a garbage can G D A D He looks at the pictures and stares up at the cracked ceiling G D A D "At the count of 3," he says, "I hope I can disappear"
[Outro]
G D A D And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard G D A D I want to fly, from the dirty boulevard G D A D I want to fly, from the dirty boulevard G D A D I want to fly fly fly fly, from the dirty boulevard
[Denouement]
G D A D I want to fly away G D A D I want to fly G D A D Fly fly away-yay G D A D I want to fly G D A D Fly fly away (Fly a-) G D A D Fly fly fly (-way, oh ah...) G D A D Fly fly away (I want to fly fly away) G D A D Fly away (I want to fly, wow woh, no, fly away)
