On the corner stand sad
_____
drunks flattening their feet
_____
And they desperately swallow
_____

_____

_____
Lights on, curtain up and stage free
_____
On the corner they stand every morning
_____
and cough the dirt from their lungs
_____
and remote-controlled past them
_____
But when the night spreads its dark wings
_____
over this beautiful city
_____
Lights on, curtain up and stage free
_____
the choir, the choir of the broken
_____
