lyrics

Rosa wanted stars in her milkshake
Thadeaus said that he would try
he dusted off a dumpstered bottle
of ten year old rosewater
poured it on the creamy chocolate shake

It tasted like soap, like stars, and like soap
no stars above us. Only grimy Brooklyn sky.

I walked to Union Square with ten thousand good people
and a thousand assholes were marching too
like a herd of frightened sheep
shepherded by a wolf pack
I saw them pick a delicate girl from the crowd

But then I saw it
two thousand hands
a speaking circle
like a sea anemone

Joe Crow says young people
come to new york for the the darkness
I didn't ask him what it was
he meant
by that.
