Cats on the corner always ignored
Somebody hit the play
Jimmy's got wide long blue hide
Got a made it Jane
Got a little highway, gonna do this all day
But at night he lost the ground
Sell his sugar to the suite
People on the street
Coolest kid in town
Cops on the corner always ignore
Somebody's getting paid
Jimmy's got it wired, law's for hire
Got it made in the shade
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Sellin' sugar to the sweet
People on the street
Call this Jimmy's town
Got a '65 Chevy and a thousand drinks
Cops on the corner, I was ignored
I really like dreams
Let him soothe your soldiers, take his hand.
Got a '65 Chevy, primered flames
Cops on the corner always ignore
People on the streets
Let him soothe your soul, just take his hand.
Got a '65 Chevy, private plane a train with a pot of goods.
Got a '65 Chevy, primered flames traded for some powdered goods.
Got a little highway, does business all day
But at night he's lost and found
Said "I'll show you to the suite-nibble on a treat"
Call this Jimmy's town.
Got a little hideaway, does business all day
But at night he'll always be found
Sellin' sugar to the sweet people on the street
Call this Jimmy's town.
He deals out in Bollywood
He deals out in Hollywood
He'll tell you he's the king of the environmental streets
Nobody's sacred law
Can't buy his filth, it's a matter of love
Saving him from the law
Two-time blues and one night shoes
Time to move out quick
This time it's gonna sound
Jimmy's going down
This time it's kinda strict
He'll tell you he's the king of these barrio streets
Moving up the shangri-la
Came by his wealth as a matter of luck
Says he never broke no law
Two time loser running out of juice
Time to move out quick
Heard a rumour going round
Jimmy's going down
This time it's gonna stick
He'll tell you he's the king of these briar hill streets
He'll tell you he's the king of these barrio streets
I really like dreams.
or
Bether like streams
People on the streets
Move 'em up and shake 'em along
Movin' up to Shangri-La
Rag time Jimmy, he's the second hand hood
The eels and Hollywood
Got a pizza crust face and pomegranates
Treated with a powdered good
Jigsaw Jimmy, he's the one to gain
But I hear he's doing okay
Gotta put a little time to the Mexican mind
Packed his candy cane
Rat-tailed Jimmy is a second hand hood
Deals out in Hollywood
Got a '65 Chevy, primered flames
Traded for some powdered goods
Jigsaw Jimmy he's the one in the game
But I hear he's doing okay
Got a cozy little job selling the Mexican mob
Packages the candycane
