[D] You've seen your bright visions of glory Where love built your city on high I have just seen your cold lower dungeons Where the victims of syph roll and cry They are called to this city of sorrow To confess all the wrong things they've done Their teardrops and weeping runs louder Than my city blown down by the bombs There's a street named for every disease here Syph Alley and Clap Avenue And the who*es and their pimps and their victims Crawl past on the curbs in my view
Once young and once healthy and happy Now a whirlpool of raving insane Lost here in the wild VD City Where nobody knows you by name Your eye is too tested to see here Worse than lepers your skin runs with sores Every window stands full of lost faces Human wrecks pile the steps and the doors Must you pay your way to this city With an hour of pa**ion's desire I pray that I'll not see your face here Where the millions now burn in the fires
