Friends are so alarming
And my lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party - on the street

People dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic Some kind of fashion
Shattered

Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and
sex and sex and sex

Look at me - I'm in tatters I 'm a shattered

Shattered
All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter,

Ahhh, look at me - I'm a shattered
I'm a shattered
Look at me - I'm a shattered, yeah
Pride and joy and greed and sex
That's what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still
surviving on the street
and look at me - i'm in tatters, yeah
I've been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered
Don't you know the crime rate is going up,
up, up, up, up!
To live in this town you must be tough,
tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the west side
Bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town's in tatters I've been
shattered
My brain's been battered - splattered - all
over Manhattan
Uh-huh, This town's full of money grabbers
Go ahead
Bite the Big Apple, don't mind the
maggots, huh
Shadoobie, My brain's been battered
My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter,
flatter!
Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
