Philip Glass - NYC: 73-78 lyrics

High high
High high
Low low
High high
Low low
High low
High low
High i'm like the painter
Low high
Who does abstract painting at home low
High i'm like the painter
Who does abstract painting at home
But likes to go to the sidewalk
And do sketches of people in the street
People in the street high
Low people in the street
High low
People in the street high
Low high
Low i was living in a wasteland
Dominated by these maniacs
These complete creeps
I was almost killed a few times

German puppets burnt the Jews
Jewish puppets did not choose
Puppet vultures eat the dead
Puppet corpses they are fed
Puppet winds and puppet waves
Puppet sailors in their graves puppet flower
Puppet stem puppet time dismantles them

I was living in a wasteland
Dominated by these maniacs
I was almost killed a few times
There were six or seven cab
Drivers murdered a year all around you
Except for the imminent violence
All around you all the violence around you
All around you
Except for the imminent violence
All around you all around you
I was living in a wasteland
Imminent violence all around you
Except for the imminent
Dominated by these maniacs
Imminent violence all around you
I was almost killed a few times
The imminent violence all around you
Except for the imminent violence
All around you there were six or seven cab
Drivers murdered a year maniac
All around you all around you
Violence all around
I liked it except for the imminent
All around you
I liked it except for the imminent
All around you all around you
