klipschutz
music by Chuck Prophet
Granted, he was stranger than the lot of us.
I walked his dizzy plank once in Manhattan.
Tell me now can I find peace here underneath
This crazy quilt of pipe and restful waste,
Not giving a tinker’s dam for a skyline view,
Designing my dream house one fever-night at a time?
