SHATTERED

Shattered, shattered Love and hope and sex and dreams are still surviving on the streets Look at me I'm in tatters I've been shattered shattered Friends are so alarming And my lover's never charming Life's just a cocktail party on the street Big Apple People dressed in plastic bags directing traffic Some kind of fashion (shattered) Laughter, joy, and loneliness And sex and sex and sex... Look at me I'm in tatters I'm shattered Shattered All this chitter-chatter, chitter, chatter Chitter-chatter 'bout Shmatter, shmatter, shmatter I can't give it away on 7th avenue This town's been wearing tatters (shattered shattered) Work and work for love and sex Ain't you hungry for success, Success, success, success But does it matter (Shattered) Does it matter Look at me I'm shattered, I'm shattered Look at me I'm shattered Pride and joy and dreams and sex That's what makes our town the best Pride and joy and dirty dreams Are still surviving on the streets Look at me, I'm in tatters I'm shattered What does it matter Does it matter Does it matter I'm shattered, shattered Don't you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up To live in this town you must be tough Tough, tough, tough, tough, tough, tough You've got rats on the west side And bed bugs uptown What a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered My brain's been battered splattered All over Manhattan This town's full of money grabbers Go ahead Bite the Big Apple don't mind the maggots My brain's been battered My friends they come around they flatter Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter Pile it up, pile it up high on the platter
