Pike Street

from Song​-​A​-​Day by Bill White

lyrics

Teen junkies
Teenage whores
Runaways to the donut shop
Across the street from the tourist stores

The crowd thinned out
At Avenue 2
Long lines of nothing
Nothing to see, nothing to do

From 3rd Avenue
I finally see
Woolworths and Kresses
The Garden. Embassy

North to the Bon
The curve of the sea
Or South
Where the YMCA meets the library

On 5th Avenue
The prostitutes take a break
In the Coliseum
While the pimps get all the cake

On 6th Avenue
I put a dime in the hand
Of an Eskimo dancing
To the reuion of a psychedelic band

The world of John Hammond
On a bar room TV
Where a gang of alcoholics
Pick a fight with me

Right before the bridge
Over Passing I-5
I check out the naked girl in the window
Glad to see shes still alive
