This is just me screwing around. Just have a concept and a story to tell in verse. I just came back from New York City and was hanging around Canal Street.
Canal Street
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform
walking the street
you never know who you’ll meet
sometimes people are lost
ask meekly for the place
where they’re supposed to meet
we’re all from somewhere else
on Canal Street
we’re all looking for our fate
on Canal Street
the Chinese touts know what it’s all about
they’ve got watches without a doubt
ones for sale that never fail
just don’t get them wet
or at least that’s what they say
tourists bump against each other
looking for their ride home
they hope they don’t get lost
before the bus sets off
they don’t want to be left alone
we’re all from somewhere else
on Canal Street
we’re all looking for our fate
on Canal Street
[bridge]
there’s an excitement that can’t be forgotten
the hustle and bustle of the crowd
can leave you a little stressed out
we’re just a number I’m afraid
stars on the street
hoping to make ends meet
we’re all fleet footed
until the sun sets in the distance
of Canal Street
