Slum Sentiments |

| Golden horses ride down the city streets
Starving children clutter beneath their feet 'Cause they haven't had enough to eat And the sweat drips from their bones in the heat Of today's sun In their houses the rats have eaten all of the meat down the hallways weary travelers often meet and lay together in a drunken sleep like all the dirt that needs to be sweeped Up tomorrow Broken ladies on street corners with plate-glass eyes Frozen babies wake the morning with a cry As sewerage pipes try to harmonize With a sweet young mother's sighs That color the night When all have vanished there, still the hobo will sleep for his bed is the gutter, the only home he knows is the street He wakes in the morning and everything's gone then vomits gently in the dawn Of tomorrow, of tomorrow |
