Shattered, Shattered Love and hope and sex and dreams Are still surving on the street I'm shattered, I'm 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
Laughter, joy and loneliness that's what makes this town the best At the door of no retreat Is love surving on the street Look at me I'm shattered
All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter,'bout Shmatter, shmatter, shmatter I can't give it away on 7th Avenue This town's wearing tatters(shattered)
Laughter, joy and loneliness Aren't you hungry for success success, success But does it matter I'm shattered, I'm shattered
Look at me I'm shattered I'm shattered Look at me I'm shattered
Laughter joy and loneliness and sex and sex and sex Just look at me I'm shattered
Don't you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up To live in this town you've got to be tough tough, tough, tough, tough, tough You've got rats on the west side And bed bugs uptown -what a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered My brain's been splattered all over Manhatten
This town's full of money grabbers Go ahead Big apple don't mind the maggots My brain's been battered All my friends they come around they flatter, flatter, flatter flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter Pile it up, Pile it up on the platter
