"Canciones" que son poesías

"It's not the words you say, but how you say it
I saved a picture where your hair was braided
They found your wallet in the cemetery
You told your daughter she was ordinary

You hate the name Junior
Your husband loved his computers
Your mother never was one
The eldest of seven children

If you don't have it, then you'll never give in
And I don't blame you for the way you're living
A little boy was born in February
You couldn't sober up to hold a baby

You hate the name Donna
You love to judge strangers' karma
You drove from New Jersey
The trucks always made you worry

Hold my hand now, time to
Go to bed, it's way too late

You hate the name Donna
You love to judge strangers' karma
You drove from New Jersey
The trucks always made you worry
We raised a saint daughter
You love to judge strangers' karma
You're praying for a funeral
You sang it like Hallelujah

You sang it like Hallelujah
You sang it like Hallelujah
You sang it like Hallelujah
You sang it like Hallelujah"

"And if the city's skyscrapers rise over this island
Would you be glad to see Manhattan for once?
I knew the dream, it died
JMZ line, Myrtle and Broadway
But I'd be glad to see Manhattan for once

Living life in the city
It will never be pretty
We can plan if we make it
We won't let 'em
They won't take it from me

And if you leave, don't leave me all alone
'Cause I'll be scared, I'll be naked, I'll be cold
And I miss my dad, Cleopatra sitting on the phone
So take me back of these streets and we'll never be apart
Together from the start
Never, never, falling back alone

Living life in the city
It will never be pretty
We can plan if we make it
We won't let 'em
They won't take it from me

And if the sun don't shine on me today
And if the subways flood and bridges break
Will you just lay down and dig your grave?
Or will you rail against the dying day?"

"Gloria, I smell it on your breath
Gloria, booze and peppermint
Gloria, no one said enough is enough
Gloria, they found you on the floor
Gloria, my hand was tied to yours
And Gloria, did you finally see that enough is enough?

Did you know me when I was younger then?
I could take the whole world with me
I would find myself feelin' alone
Heaven, help me now, Heaven, show the way
Get me back on my own two feet
I would lie awake and pray you don't lie awake for me

Gloria, you crawled up on your cross
Gloria, you made us sit and watch
Gloria, no one said enough is enough

Heaven, help me now, Heaven, show the way
Get me back on my own two feet
I would lie awake and pray you don't lie awake for me
Every night away, every day alone
Get me back on my own two feet
I would lie awake and pray you don't lie awake for me

Gloria, will you just decide?
Gloria, there's easier ways to die
Gloria, have you had enough?"
