Chris Bergson Band - Gowanus Heights

A blurry couple stumbles out in the street
Under the broken hands of the clocktower
Down on Fourth Avenue, it's the same routine
Keepin' life from comin' 'part at the seams

The junkie blonde and her tough brunette
Counted up their money to see what they'd get
Out in pajamas on a Saturday night
Just cruisin' 'round waitin' to feel allright

CHORUS:

One more day in Gowanus Heights
Sprrawling, forgotten under broken streetlights
One more day in Gowanus Heights
Changin' quarters to dollars to get through the night
Changin' quarters to dollars to get through the night

The regular cats arrivin' now:
Hey Eddie - I hear you been skimpin',
They found a seal in the canal
Man, he was messed up but he was still swimmin'!

An hour later they were back in their room
And everything had started to glow
Blonde junkie says, Oh, If tomorrow comes,
I never want to see you no more...

CHORUS

Oh yeah, it's a hip part of town
All kinds of people keep comin' on down
Like the man in the street who wisely repeats
God bless the people on the planet!

CHORUS
