Queen of the surface streets


Well this is one place where
Your gods can't dwell
It's like walking in
To the mouth of hell
Sweating our dignities out on the subway
At the beginning of another long, long day

As for my mortal remains
I couldn't care
'Cause when the day is done
She'll be waiting here
That's when I love the accommodations
In a urine smelling transit station

I'll move these rocks
For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine
'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your time is worth

And I'll give my days to the Neanderthals
With the classic rock
And the wrecking ball
I'll go swimming in the wet concrete
And I'll cast my pearls at the unpaved streets

I don't mind the mental atrophy
'Cause when the lids come down, you're all I see
You're like a lovely hallucination
You get me through my current occupation

I'll move these rocks
For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine
'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your time is worth

See I'm towering
Above mortal men
I'll emerge from the darkness
And there you stand
You're the Queen of all the surface streets
I'm a wiener boy, that you're here to meet

I don't need the money
I couldn't care
'Cause everything I want Is standing right here
I would live on the street
In a cardboard shack
Just the worship the feet
And the curve of your back
You'll be my only preoccupation
On a permanent vacation

Now I will move these rocks
For you my love
I will tear them up out of the Earth
And I will bend my spine
'Til it's quitting time
'Cause I know what your love is worth

What your love is worth
What your love is worth

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Le Devotchkas sono state un gruppo musicale statunitense di Oi! e street punk, originario di New York. Il nome del gruppo è stato ispirato dal film *Arancia meccanica*, dove «devotchka» era la parola per indicare «ragazza» nella lingua Nadsat. Attive tra gli anni '90 e il 2000, le Devotchkas hanno guadagnato popolarità per il loro sound aggressivo e le liriche provocatorie, spesso incentrate su temi sociali come la disuguaglianza e l'oppressione. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano «The Ballad of the Working Class», «New York City Riot» e «Russian Roulette». Il gruppo ha pubblicato diversi album, tra cui *Devotchkas* (1996) e *The New World Order* (2000). Le Devotchkas hanno collaborato con altri gruppi punk come i Cock Sparrer e gli Angelic Upstarts.
