My Side Of The City

Beulah

the children are slow on my side of the city

they all like to try looking so pretty

they hide in the dark

cause bright lights are so deadly

the radio screams

their friends are never on time

they're never on time



and mexican boys are holding down the corners

[?]

girlfriend sways quick from one side to another

they're holding their own

the trouble's never on time

it's never on time



well there's nothing in the world

that I want to see

there's nowhere

oh no where

that I'd rather be

than here with you

oh holding me here



and all the girls sell on my side of the city

[?] they're looking so pretty

shift is a drag

the weather's always shitty

they do what they can

the men are always on time

they're always on time



and undercover cops

are looking for a sucker

always want to trade for a little treasure

they only ask once

they only give the pleasure

they give you a life

the trains are never on time

they're never on time



well there's nothing in the world

that I want to see

there's nowhere

oh no where

that I'd rather be

than here with you

oh holding me here



so make your way

to the ocean

let the warm cool breeze

soak into your bones
