Astor Place

She got kicked in the Astor Place
she fell down with the powder on her face
woke up in flames on Avenue A
took up a collection and cleaned the whole plate off

she came down on a Tuesday night
fell off the roof and caught up in a fight
but she never took a bribe and she always had a light
she’s like a thunderbird on the turnpike

she took all the trophies from her momma’s purse
traded em in on a joker in a hearse
but she never let me drive
and I always got nursed
