Youth In AsiaSitting on the street corner In the heart of the city,Youth In Asia
Is a friend of mine. You'd know him instantly By the scars on his hands and the beer can in his lap And his salt-and-pepper face With the teary blue eyes. You can see him every day, At that same street corner- The eunuch with the racy magazine dated October 1994. It's the only thing he has now, Besides the empty wallet and the even emptier can of beer, And his death-grip hold on the idea of what he once was And the thought of something better. He never looks you directly in the eye, But it's like he


VirtuosoIt’s good to know you’re never there if I need you. There was nothing I could do. It began the moment I saw you And it couldn't be stopped. They didn't see you like I saw you. They couldn't understand your complicated poetry. Nobody else really knew you. But isn't that how you wanted it? Intimidation was your most powerful ally. Well, you couldn't fool me.

Dance like you thought you were dying. Underground Underdog. Honky-tonk Hollywood ain’t got nothin’ on this one. Dance down the line with a fiddler’s fury. Your public is waiting. City lightsSoftshoe Sam.
