bayonne blues - janis ian lyrics

[verse 1]
i was raised in new york city where the money grows on trees
and the flowers all look gritty and the people look diseased
come up from new jersey where i sung the bayonne blues
i watched the roller derby on the seven*thirty news
i thought i’d be a folksinger
i went down to macdougal street
and bleecker where the stars got stoned
but the union hall was closed
and the stars out on the road
making monеy singing anti*money songs

[verse 2]
i went back up to broadway, i took the irt
somе old man in a raincoat parked his body next to me
“do you want to make some money fast?”
and then he grabbed me by the ass
i got derailed at forty*second street
i asked some lady for the time
she asked me to her room
she said “i’ve got a water bed”
i said “i’ve got the flu
you look just like a friend of mine
i never liked too well
she sold picture postcards
of the crack in the liberty bell”
[verse 3]
i went into the taco bell to get myself some lunch
they rushed me to the hospital to have my stomach pumped
run over on the corner by a wheelchair with no h*rn
i fell into a manhole and was baptized and reborn
i moved out to long island
bought a color tv
i watch the doctor shows
i’m a soap opera queen
i think i got pneumonia
i’m sure i’ve got tb
it may not be a h*ll of a life
but it’s life enough for me
