Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll fingers his cross

He says seven Hail Mary's

for a little skin pop

The smack is pure

and speed is bad

And meth is just cike

dressed up in drag

Jim Carroll Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll Jim Carroll

Jim Carroll Jim Carroll

Going downtown with Jim Carroll

Uh huh

I was born at the dawn

of the atomic age

My bones are shaking

My body aches

They putta man in space

But I can’t even score

on St. Marks Place

Another Pernod

Another Tuinol

Another Pernod

from the downstairs bar

Another Tuinol

A double Perdod

Another Tuinol

A double Perdod

Chorus
