Sunday bleeding out the boiling blood
red light running out the endless gut
night and day
one and the same
square of time
insane of brain
common crime
and dirty rain
take delight in the sound of chains
subway rolling under Broadway lane
crowds on fire
screaming bars
hot desire
the world of Mars
dodging lightning
and razor cars
taxis and tattoos
taxis and tattoos
read my skin for the daily news
ride the yellow into the blues
taxis and tattoos
every church singing every tongue
every bell mystified and rung
dirt enveloping
every pore
mystery behind
every door
angels dancing
with Harlem whores
take the skyscraper to the top
see the city that never stops
take the whole
out of every part
race is finished
before it starts
give your all
and it breaks your heart
taxis and tattoos
taxis and tattoos
read my skin for the daily news
ride the yellow into the blues
taxis and tattoos
