Shattered Lyrics

Shattered lyrics

Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still surviving
on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters!
I'm a
shattered
Shattered

Friends are so alarming
And my lover's never
charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big Apple
People
dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic
Some kind of
fashion
Shattered

Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and
sex and sex
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a
shattered
Shattered

All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter,
chitter-chatter 'bout
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I can't give it away on
7th Avenue
This town's been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered)
Work
and work for love and sex
Ain't you hungry for success, success, success,
success
Does it matter? (Shattered) Does it matter?
I'm
shattered.
Shattered

Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
I'm a
shattered
Look at me- I'm a shattered, yeah

Pride and joy and greed
and sex
That's what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty
dreams and still surviving on the street
And look at me, I'm in tatters,
yeah
I've been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter,
uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered

Don't you know the
crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be
tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
You got rats on the west side
Bed bugs
uptown
What a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered
My brain's
been battered, splattered all over Manhattan

Uh-huh, this town's full of
money grabbers
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots,
huh
Shadoobie, my brain's been battered
My friends they come around
they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile
it up, pile it high on the platter
