On a night with no lights, they found a young girl's body
Jigged and beaten and they made it a priority
But the boys in blue couldn't solve the case
Because the girl that hit the curb didn't have no faceThey found her on Delancy street, Christmas Eve
No suspect sought, much to my relief
And I said wash your face little girl, for real
Pretend you came back with that mass appealNow diamonds for your pearl, clicking in heels
Shaking that ass for extra value meals
And down that part of town that frightens the masses
Filled with mean motherfuckers and noxious gasesDelancy, I love you, I need you
You're the only one for me
Delancy, I love you, I need you
I miss you on the south side of the streetDelancy, I love you, I need you
You're the only one for me
Delancy, I love you, I need you
South side, south side, south sideThey're all bums, girl, they're all bums, girl
They're livin' in their fucked up places
I'm talking murder, I'm talking blackmail and jazz
And guys with burned up facesDelancy, I love you, I need you
You're the only one for me
Delancy, I love you I need you
South side, south sideDelancy, I love you, I need you
You're the only one for me
Delancy, I love you, I need you
I miss you on the south side of the street
South sideYou know that you're the flower, baby, I am Dr. Pepper
I saw you on the street and it made me feel much better
I dragged him 'cross the ground to show him what he'd done
I've seen an F train coming, shining like the sunYeah, I looked both ways before I pushed him in the track
I heard a scream, a crack and I never looked backDelancy on my mind
Delancy on my mind
Delancy on my mind
Delancy on my mind, on my mindSouth side, south side
Delancy on my mind, on my mind
Delancy on my mind, on my mind
Delancy on my mind, on my mind
