lyrics

Katy:
The joint is set to jump, the band is warmed on up
The crowd is getting juiced, getting loose enough
Fear and dread gets parties fed
When your ticket might be up

The men they all pretend that they’re a big deal but
The shady and the ladies know what is what
The beat it thumps, the show lights up
All the jack and jills go jump

Me and sheila wheelin, dealin case the place
Sippin’ hooch, got dough to make
The dutchman’s got some stuff to shake
We shmooze and booze and trade

Sheila stuns, my heart is shot
Her boss the cigarette girl’s got
agendas that i just cannot
Players play and plot

I gotta sense of doom that i can never shake
Like walls closin in, trouble on its way
I live with it day after day
All the shade i cannot face

But at night when the tunes and the groove’s just right
Im lit and sway and feel just fine
For just a moment all’s all right
Swingin at the Balley tonight

Sheila: Wormy’s come into some cash and is looking to buy. Let’s head over

Katy: i heard his brother got nicked by the fuzz. Their pickin up all the junkies lately

Sheila: Nah, i heard it’s just the tan san druggies they’re scoopin. Come on.

Katy: Im in, i just gotta.. i just gotta feed the monkey. The shakes is coming. I’m headin to the fire escape, i’ll meet you at Wormy’s table in 10

Sheila: Just keep it light, we still got all night

Katy: Dont worry, i got ya.

...

Police:
On the day we come it’s over
Everybody here against the wall
This is a raid so be compliant
We’ve got a list of names, we want them all

Please show your ID when we search you
If you dont have it then you’re coming in
And if you try to run we’ll shoot you
Just do your duty as good citizens

about

Paul Shapera Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Cama’s attempt to commune with higher beings failed; she only found Decadent Dottie. Together they roamed, indulging in dangerous forms of psycho-neural self-exploration which Cama hoped would present the key to her people’s further evolution. It only led to her destroying her people so that one of their pets could evolve. She sat in her former civilization's rubble and listened to Paul Shapera. ... more
