text: Well small change got rained on with his own .38
  And nobody flinched down by the arcade
  And the marquise werent weeping
  They went stark ravin mad
  And the cabbies were the only ones
  That really had it made
  Cause his cold trousers were twisted
  And the sirens high and shrill
  And crumpled in his fist was a five dollar bill
  And the naked mannequins with their
  Cheshire grins
  And the raconteurs
  And roustabouts said buddy
  Come on in
  Cause the dreams aint broken down here
  Now... theyre walkin with a limp
  Now that
  Small change got rained on with his own .38
  And nobody flinched down by the arcade
  And the burglar alarms been disconnected
  And the newsmen start to rattle
  And the cops are tellin jokes about some whore house in Seattle
  And the fire hydrants plead the 5th Amendment
  And the furnitures bargains galore
  But the blood is by the juke box
  On an old linoleum floor
  And with a hot rain on 42nd Street
  And now the umbrellas aint got a chance
  And the newsboys a lunatic
  With stains on his pants cause...
  Small change got rained on with his own .38
  And no ones gone over to close his eyes
  And theres a racing form in his pocket
  Circled Blue Boots in the 3rd
  And the cashier at the clothing store
  He didnt say a word as the
  Siren tears the night in half
  And someone lost his wallet
  Well its surveillance of assailants
  If thats whachawannacallit
  But the whores still smear on
  And they all look like
  But their mouths cut just like
  Razor blades and their eyes are like stilettos
  And her radiators steaming
  And her teeth are in a wreck
  Now she wont let you kiss her
  But what the hell did you expect
  And the gypsies are tragic and if you
  Wanna to buy perfume, well
  Theyll bark you down like
  Carneys...sell you Christmas cards in June
  But...
  Small change got rained on with his own .38
  And his headstones
  A gumball machine
  No more chewing gum or
  Baseball cards or
  Overcoats or dreams and
  Someone is hosing down the sidewalk
  And hes only in his teens
  Small change got rained on with his own .38
  And a fist full of dollars cant change that
  And someone copped his watch fob
  And someone got his ring
  And the newsboy got his pork pie Stetson hat
  And the tuberculosis old men
  At the Nelson wheeze and cough
  And someone will head South
  Until this whole thing cools off cause
  Small change got rained on with his own .38
  Small change got rained on with his own .
