about

An ode to one of my hometown haunts that would become a flashpoint early in the COVID lockdown. If you know the avenue we start north and head up into the heart of town. Every incident eye-witnessed by the author.

lyrics

There's a scrawny ginger hanging at the 7-11
Begging change on the sidewalk out front
His mother went to Smith, and her son's eating bugs on a dare
And there are rich kids fighting in the parking lot almost every night

A Pontiac bench seat will do for a twin
Down at the harbour there's a lover's lane
And there's always one chick sounds like she's having a fit,
And making a scene
For all the hungry couples sweatin' in the dark

Bar-hopping', pill-poppin'
Burger joints and record shops
And you can get a sweet deal on a vintage guitar
'Cross from the Cinnamon bar

Old crazy Larry's ragin' down on the corner near railroad station,
By the taxi stand
And no ones really sure anymore if it's the booze or if it's Viet Nam
And the cabbies all charge him double when his check come in

Wo, Little Vincent's extra cheese stays open 'til midnight
And if you want you can get Greek 'til ten
And when the Paramount crowd gets really loud
It sounds just like Times Square then
And some frat boy's pukin' in the gutter
On New York Avenue

New York Avenue
New York Avenue
You'll wind up black and blue on New York Avenue

New York Avenue
New York Avenue
It'll leave you black and blue
