    What's Good
    Life's like a mayonnaise soda
    and life's like space without room
    And life's like bacon and ice cream
    that's what life's like without you

    Life's like forever becoming
    but life's forever dealing in hurt
    Now life's like death without living
    that's what life's like without you

    Life's like Sanskrit read to a pony
    I see you in my mind's eye strangling on your tongue
    What's good is knowing such devotion
    I've been around - I know what makes things run

    What good is seeing eye chocolate
    what good's a computerized nose
    And what good was cancer in April
    why no good - no good at all

    What good's a war without killing
    what good is rain that falls up
    What good's a disease that won't hurt you
    why no good, I guess, no good at all

    What good are these thoughts that I'm thinking
    It must be better not to be thinking at all
    A styrofoam lover with emotions of concrete
    no not much, not much at all

    What's good is life without living
    what good's this lion that barks
    You loved a life others throw away nightly
    it's not fair, not fair at all

    What's good?
    oh, baby, what's good?
    What's good?
    what's good? not much at all

    Dirty Boulevard
    Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel
    he looks out a window without glass
    The walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet
    his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg

    He's got 9 brothers and sisters
    they're brought up on their knees
    it's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs
    Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man
    but that's a slim chance he's going to the boulevard

    He's going to end up, on the dirty boulevard
    he's going out, to the dirty boulevard
    He's going down, to the dirty boulevard

    This room cost 2,000 dollars a month
    you can believe it man it's true
    somewhere a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants
    No one here dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything
    they dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard

    Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
    that's what the Statue of Bigotry says
    Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
    and get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard

    Get to end up, on the dirty boulevard
    going out, to the dirty boulevard
    He's going down, on the dirty boulevard
    going out

    Outside it's a bright night
    there's an opera at Lincoln Center
    movie stars arrive by limousine
    The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan
    but the lights are out on the Mean Streets

    A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel
    he's selling plastic roses for a buck
    The traffic's backed up to 39th street
    the TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck

    And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming
    he's found a book on magic in a garbage can
    He looks at the pictures and stares at the cracked ceiling
    "At the count of 3" he says, "I hope I can disappear"

    And fly fly away, from this dirty boulevard
    I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
    I want to fly, from dirty boulevard
    I want to fly-fly-fly-fly, from dirty boulevard
    2:17 am
    Romeo Had Juliette
    Caught between the twisted stars
    the plotted lines the faulty map
    that brought Columbus to New York
    Betwixt between the East and West
    he calls on her wearing a leather vest
    the earth squeals and shudders to a halt
    A diamond crucifix in his ear
    is used to help ward off the fear
    that he has left his soul in someone's rented car
    Inside his pants he hides a mop
    to clean the mess that he has dropped
    into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell

    And Romeo wanted Juliette
    and Juliette wanted Romeo
    And Romeo wanted Juliette
    and Juliette wanted Romeo

    Romeo Rodriguez squares
    his shoulders and curses Jesus
    runs a comb through his black pony-tail
    He's thinking of his lonely room
    the sink that by his bed gives off a stink
    then smells her perfume in his eyes
    And her voice was like a bell

    Outside the streets were steaming the crack
    dealers were dreaming
    of an Uzi someone had just scored
    'I betcha I could hit that light
    with my one good arm behind my back'
    says little Joey Diaz
    Brother give me another tote
    those downtown hoods are no damn good
    those Italians need a lesson to be taught
    This cop who died in Harlem
    you think they'd get the warnin'
    I was dancing when his brains ran out on the street

    And Romeo had Juliette
    and Juliette had her Romeo
    And Romeo had Juliette
    and Juliette had her Romeo

    I'll take Manhattan in a garbage bag
    with Latin written on it that says
    "it's hard to give a shit these days"
    Manhattan's sinking like a rock
    into the filthy Hudson what a shock
    they wrote a book about it
    they said it was like ancient Rome

    The perfume burned his eyes
    holding tightly to her thighs
    And something flickered for a minute
    and then it vanished and was gone

    The Keys to Your Heart

    You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart.

    In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored.

    You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring.

    You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

    Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with.

    Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

    You think of marriage pessimistically. You don't think happy marriages exist anymore.

    In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
