Burton St.

Said I was a stranger looking
for somewhere to eat
She said theres no more stranger
then down on Burton St.

First thing I saw was a baby
wearing a toupee
giving directions to Simease twins
going their separate ways

Watched a juggler
throwing life into the sky
said he juggled 2 jobs, 3 kids
and trouble on the side

He performed for the owner
of the Bridal Boutique
who married a divorce lawyer
when he said "I love you, I think"

Watched the blind barber
getting measured for some pants
by a conflicted tailor
who also owns a nudist camp

The homeless real estate agent
gave me sage advice
He said "never read a fortune cookie
that mentions Jesus Christ"

He said "get off of Burton St.
before it turns to night
by turning left at the communist coffee shop
and righteous at the lights."

This reminds me of Paul McCartney lyrics.(Lady Madonna comes to mind,why I don't know)Being compared to a Beatle is about the highest praise there is.........

Thank you Doug thats very kind

It makes me think of what might have been accomplished if the Beatles sat down with David Bowie and produced a number one hit. It has the flavor, mainly, of "I am the Walrus" with a little sprinkle of "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" thrown in for good measure.

Yes! Yes! But there is one more big name I'd like to throw in and that's Bob Dylan. This song puts me in a "Like a Rolling Stone"-state of mind.
