A Well Earned Reputation

I take the PATH to the city,

The other three take the chance to sleep,

Lack of the same and I feel shitty,

My commute turns to a creep,

I walk in crowds on dirty streets,

Lack of sleep and swear it burns my eyes,

That's when I get that certain feeling,

Culture shock is only certain surprise

I've been prepared for another world,

Next stop is a party girl,

Her gravity is a trashy suction,

And she needs no introduction,

I get lost in a humid space,

If I can just find St. Mark's Place,

Hey, it's all going down tonight,

Junkie chic has earned the right

Summer's late and so am I,

I sweat down to my toes,

New York City unrefined to my too eager pose,

No time here for naiveté,

It drowns in overstimulation,

Kim's Underground and so blasé,

Suggests a well earned reputation
