I turn down the Avenue
Because I have to
To get to work
I turn down this street
And I choose it because
It smells like
Halitosis
Vomit
And homeless people
The smell is the talk of the town
The thing that no one talks about
Unless they're sitting down
Halitosis
Vomit
And homeless people
Halitosis
Vomit
And homeless people
I heard some town wants to outlaw
Being homeless
I think it's fair to say
That would be an example of not getting to the root of the problem
But making cosmetic changes to a crumbling facade
Halitosis
Vomit
And homeless people
The unspeakable truths
The undeniable stench
Doesn't smell like the Macy's perfume counter
A far departure
