The forever-stench of hoboken The most composed... undress Loosened to a senseless smirk Keep walking... The prettiest eyes droop to a cool low Posture is hard to keep with them shots! Keep walking... Messaging another senseful planet the boring absurdity of now Watch your step! Her fine italian dinner is inches away Or is it fine thai... It's vulgarity kills any sense of definition Uh oh... now there are more puddles! Keep away from those leaking lakes Of sushi... sashimi... heineken... absolut! Absolutely acceptable in this town! Come on! We're almost out of it Out of the town we were once so happy to visit just a couple of hours ago When everyone was efficient, and not venturing ***** When communication wasn't fogged, but clear and easy When men didn't dress like 14 year old boys trying to score at a house party And women didn't give away their IQ so easily, heads slightly bent forward with a lack of direction Maybe it was home, maybe it was danger, maybe it was fun The zombie within arose with a wretched stench of alcohol Yet this will never stop selling People are sold this "treasure" of acceptance, rank, a strong sense of esotericism, all lies Yet in reality, they are simple facades, regular people like you and me. O Hoboken, you stink
