The Star of Downtown

The Star of Downtown

Verse 1:  Broke and desperate, wanting a peace of everything / beautiful and ambitious in a defiant way / underground with the hustlers and marginalized / no time for pumping brakes or dealing with flakes / with good chops and fierceness / I'll be called upon by haters and lovers alike / if I were boring, then I'd be ignored

Verse 2:  Rolling my eyes at wannabes and geezers / if they're not compelling / they should be kicked off the stage / I bring the spice and salsa / I bring the drama with chips / going over, inside, under your heads in one fell swoop / if colour is energy, then I'll soak in rainbows

Verse 3:  I don't need magic or luck / for you to crave my hunger / you've been denied an essential part of life for too long / my fabulousness is a modern wonder of art and life / it taps into a rising consciousness for love of self / a perfect sensation to cultivate and maintain / integrity and passion wrapped in a beautiful package / what's controversial is refusal to look to the future

Chorus:  Give the [*] and freaks exactly what they want from me / give the poets and punks exactly what they want from me / incredible style and bitchy attitude / designates me as the star of downtown (I'm a proud [*])
