LYRIC FOR SALE

512 West 24
Lyrics by John Fleming

[Verse 1]
Nicotine schemes and magazines
Scattered on the floor
Broadway grifters and rainbow hipsters
Waiting at the door
Chocolate cremes and limousines
Come and gone before
It’s where I’ve been and where I’m at
512 West 24

[Verse 2]
Wellesley losses to Jesus crosses
Champagne dreams to dope
Rubber hoses and liquid doses
Anything to cope
Sweeping bars to stealing cars
Run it up the rope
It’s where I’ve been and where I’m at
512 West 24

[Bridge]
A five-story walk-up ain’t the place to be
When Ashley’s living large somewhere in Beverly
Somewhere in Beverly

[Verse 3]
Life’s a ball when you have it all
Until it throws you for a loop
Baby’s crying and Spoony’s flying
Never got the scoop
Still making plans with Steely Dan
Playing on the juke
It’s where I’ve been and where I’m at
512 West 24
Lower the rent, turn up the thermostat
512 West 24
