[Intro] [Catchy Fender Stratocaster Fingerstyle Riff] [Heavy Prominent Bassline] [5/4 Time Signature Groove] [Verse 1] Broken glass on the sidewalk, CBGB's basement hall Graffiti bleeding through the plaster on the Chelsea wall Streetlights flickering yellow in the CBGB haze Walking down the Bowery in a wild, velvet daze Five dollars in my pocket for a ticket to the underground [Pre-Chorus] The city's broke and burning, trash fires in the night Sirens screaming through the alley, running from the light No money for the rent, no future in the bank Just dirty guitars, cheap speed, and a diesel tank [Chorus] Welcome to the wild side, where the night never sleeps On the edge of the abyss, where the broken dark runs deep We got poison in our blood, but poetry in our hands Outsiders and dreamers, taking our final stand Yeah, we own these dirty streets tonight [Instrumental Interlude] [Long Melodic Electric Guitar Solo] [Beautiful Memorable Fingerpicking] [Smooth Heavy Bassline and Rhodes Piano] [Verse 2] Jack’s standing on the corner, trading pills for a dime Sally’s writing punk songs, running out of borrowed time Cops turn a blind eye when the neon turns to red Living like kings on a mattress made of lead We ain't got no morals, we ain't got no guilt [Chorus][Pre-Chorus] The city's broke and burning, trash fires in the night Sirens screaming through the alley, running from the light No money for the rent, no future in the bank Just dirty guitars, cheap speed, and a diesel tank [Chorus][ Welcome to the wild side, where the night never sleeps On the edge of the abyss, where the broken dark runs deep We got poison in our blood, but poetry in our hands Outsiders and dreamers, taking our final stand Yeah, we own these dirty streets tonight [Piano Solo] [Rhythmic Rhodes Piano Solo] [Complex Chord Progression, Fast Tempo] [Outro] [Leading Guitar and Bass Duet] [Fade Out]
