Lyrics
Hoover Street
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's solid door immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding a corner walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread around
On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little the kid cast the woes
Of an authority girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in the head
You see poor Mario, he caught a hot one, through the lung
Now he's done so God bless him
And the cocaine moves through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under class
Just a bunch of kids who don't wanna finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out and die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter and fail
And a few weeks of promises and intentions fail
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh Yeah
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
OooohYeah
They kick a bottle of beer and a letter
Simple things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you and it falls on me self-annihilation, catastrophe
Two packs of cigarettes for $2. 70 and a bottle of wine that's been opened
And he said, why do I do this
A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said it's who I am being back to it
Off the deep end the record changed
You see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began, to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery and the handcuffs bleed
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah
It's a glass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Ooooh yeah
Who was the killer It's in the
