North Philly Out The Window

Wake up on the hardwood floor

North Philly out the window

Girard never sleeps

But its heart beat slows

Always someone on the street

In the house of the Lord’s shadow

Empty shell fiend’s feet

Pound the corner concrete

Looking for change

Maybe a lick that’s sweet

As a Swisher

Sell perfume to a wisher

Wishing on a star she can’t see

For some kind of issue

To be resolved

And the chamber revolves

And the sound of a discharge

Reverberates off row house walls
