Story behind the song
Based on nameless real characters in New York jazz clubs.
Lyrics
Slick Johnny went down to the club To see the girl that he loved For two lines of blow and some smoke He got his courtesy stroke. Jazz breathers and drug-hardened thugs Old timers, the leeches and mugs They’re adrift In the music of vanishing dreams. Fast Life, Hot City Warm love, so pretty The moon lights the way for your heart You’re seeing truth at its start. Dead Life, Cold City Ah No love, no pity The sun burns your sad tired eyes You’re blind to deceit and to lies. Slick Johnny had too much to drink Went to the bathroom to think Found his girl doing the band. She said, “Here’s my chemical man” The light it burst in his eyes, Although it was no surprise He flushed his hope away with his tears. Dead Life, Cold City Ah No love, no pity The sun burns your sad tired eyes You’re blind to deceit and to lies. Dead Life, Cold City Ah No love, no pity The sun burns your sad tired eyes You’re blind to deceit and to lies. Fast Life, Hot City Warm love, so pretty Dead Life, Cold City Ah No love, no pity The sun burns your sad tired eyes You’re blind to deceit and to lies.
