| [ti:Dirty Blvd. (LP Version)] | |
| [ar:Lou Reed] | |
| [al:New York] | |
| [00:03.96] | Pedro lives out of the Wilshire Hotel |
| [00:18.21] | He looks out a window without glass |
| [00:20.65] | And the walls are made of cardboard, newspapers on his feet |
| [00:26.62] | And his father beats him 'cause he's too tired to beg |
| [00:29.16] | |
| [00:29.86] | He's got 9 brothers and sisters |
| [00:32.39] | They're brought up on their knees |
| [00:34.54] | It's hard to run when a coat hanger beats you on the thighs |
| [00:38.43] | Pedro dreams of being older and killing the old man |
| [00:42.06] | But that's a slim chance |
| [00:43.96] | He's going to the boulevard |
| [00:45.55] | |
| [00:46.05] | He's gonna end up on the dirty boulevard |
| [00:50.23] | He's going out to the dirty boulevard |
| [00:53.27] | He's going down to the dirty boulevard |
| [00:57.30] | |
| [00:57.89] | This room cost $2,000 a month |
| [01:04.27] | You can believe it, man, it's true |
| [01:05.87] | Somewhere there's a landlord's laughing till he wets his pants |
| [01:08.16] | No one dreams of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything |
| [01:12.64] | They dream of dealing on the dirty boulevard |
| [01:15.63] | |
| [01:16.73] | Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor I'll piss on 'em |
| [01:21.11] | That's what the Statue of Bigotry says |
| [01:23.60] | Your poor huddled masses |
| [01:26.99] | Let's club 'em to death |
| [01:28.53] | And get it over with and just dump 'em on the boulevard |
| [01:30.78] | |
| [01:31.53] | Get 'em out on the dirty boulevard |
| [01:36.10] | Goin' out to the dirty boulevard |
| [01:40.24] | They're going down on the dirty boulevard |
| [01:44.47] | Goin' out |
| [01:46.12] | |
| [01:46.91] | Outside it's a bright night |
| [01:51.18] | There's an opera at Lincoln Center |
| [01:52.58] | Movie stars arrive by limousine |
| [01:55.46] | The klieg lights shoot up over the skyline of Manhattan |
| [02:00.04] | But the lights are out on the mean streets |
| [02:02.88] | |
| [02:04.37] | A small kid stands by the Lincoln Tunnel |
| [02:07.47] | He's selling plastic roses for a buck |
| [02:10.25] | The traffic's backed up to 39th Street |
| [02:14.23] | The TV whores are calling the cops out for a suck |
| [02:18.81] | |
| [02:19.93] | And back at the Wilshire, Pedro sits there dreaming |
| [02:22.82] | He's found a book on Magic in a garbage can |
| [02:27.46] | He looks at the pictures |
| [02:28.96] | And stares up at the cracked ceiling |
| [02:31.54] | "At the count of 3," he says, |
| [02:33.83] | "I hope I can disappear." |
| [02:35.20] | |
| [02:35.45] | And fly, fly away from this dirty boulevard |
| [02:39.38] | I want to fly from the dirty boulevard |
| [02:43.07] | I want to fly from the dirty boulevard |
| [02:47.40] | I want to fly-fly-fly-fly from the dirty boulevard |
| [02:51.04] | |
| [02:51.49] | I want to fly away |
| [02:54.57] | I want to fly |
| [02:58.35] | Fly, fly away |
| [03:00.79] | I want to fly |
| [03:03.83] | Fly, fly away |
| [03:07.82] | Fly, fly away |
| [03:09.62] | Fly, fly away |
| [03:14.46] | Fly, fly away |
| [03:17.89] | I want to fly |
