Loísaida 02

I was there when you pushed Tamiko Hard against the table Of stainless steel Where we prepared rich people's meals Was is it the heat of the oven That made you forget that pic you showed everyone Of that girl in Ciudad del Carmen Holding three fat little children Or is it the 4000 miles Is another world away When you got to walk them And still give the coyote half your pay And surely we will be forgiven For spending our last Benjamin Working in the belly of the beast To buy a slice of Heaven I was there when you got the news They would not renew your H2B But in these streets you had become All you'd ever wanted to be Your laughter shot across Delancey You swore you would never leave And there was always the A train If you missed the beach at Tel Aviv Tell me did you change your mind And buy that ticket home When you noticed I was always alone Put in this world to roam But I know now you live haunted By what we did to the belly of the beast Going after all we ever wanted On these streets of Heaven
