The South Side

Cronk,
tall and thin
hair electric stood on end
long and straight down the reverse
shirtless man - acid trip, an icon to us all
we called the cut 'the Cronk' - outta' respect

Kurtz - kept Berlin Wall distance 'cause you was verboten
Cropped blond hair and Frankenstein grimace
just like Lou - velvet & CBGB's - walking wild
white lightning and leathers on 16th street - summer time stench
sex in the backrooms no time no dime
a real hard street fucker you is

Psycho, you were the naz
absolutely genius psychotic
'25 and Leary fried your mind
satin pants and way cool hair
eye shadow like a queen of drag
ghastly ghostly Ozzy image dread of undead
asylum or earth man. to which did you go?

Mau Mau...wasn't sure what you was man
Hard-core for certain - didn't fuck wit you
Larry Fine Stooge hair
dark skinned Croat, Bosnian maybe
Maletinski - Mau Mau, jesus man the name
nose broken how many times, none could know
1000 yard eyes of gray blue death stare
what'd you see now Mau Mau
what do you see?

Rough times, hard times, good times and bad
Never should've walked there
Would've regretted had I not
We was all dead men walking
We all got what we got

How many still breathe?
