Lyrics
where is the ghost of Huncke
and the ghosts of Jack and Neal
where is Allen and the great Howl
of the neon New York nighttime
where is Bill and the benny tubes and meth
in the deep tired pockets
of the imagination
scattered across the Texas plains
the back bays of Florida
along the straight hot
railroad tracks of Mexico
where are the lipsticked dark haired
beauties digging the wild sweat
of the sax man in the Broadway basement
bebop jazz of Bird Diz Miles
swingin’ on 52nd Street
the black and white AM of America
after the war when it was all
new and strange
and everything was happening at once
where but in the lost MTV’d
starbucked sadness of no zen
gapped and disneyed corporatum
not a paper in the gutter headlining
the death of the American soul
not a pasty of purity twirling
and smiling come on in
only the burlesque harlequin gloom
of sex and money
is all there is
is where
all the where is
is all is
is all
is
and the ghosts of Jack and Neal
where is Allen and the great Howl
of the neon New York nighttime
where is Bill and the benny tubes and meth
in the deep tired pockets
of the imagination
scattered across the Texas plains
the back bays of Florida
along the straight hot
railroad tracks of Mexico
where are the lipsticked dark haired
beauties digging the wild sweat
of the sax man in the Broadway basement
bebop jazz of Bird Diz Miles
swingin’ on 52nd Street
the black and white AM of America
after the war when it was all
new and strange
and everything was happening at once
where but in the lost MTV’d
starbucked sadness of no zen
gapped and disneyed corporatum
not a paper in the gutter headlining
the death of the American soul
not a pasty of purity twirling
and smiling come on in
only the burlesque harlequin gloom
of sex and money
is all there is
is where
all the where is
is all is
is all
is
