[Verse 1]
Runnin' downtown with the drag queens
Turning tricks down by the pier
A twenty’ll buy a balloon and some beer
"It's our weakness that makes us beautiful
To God", that's what she said
If your life’s too safe you might as well be dead
[Bridge]
3rd and Broadway
Land of Sad Days
[Verse 2]
She smiled a lot for a girl who was raped
Since she was 12, her Daddy said
"Girl you're goin' straight to hell"
Back in Puerto Rico
The dawn smelled like cinnamon
Cumulonimbus clouds hid the sun
[Chorus]
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(3rd and Broadway)
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(Land of Sad Days)
[Verse 3]
"It's our weakness that makes us beautiful
To God", that's what she said
If your life's too safe you might as well be dead
Back in Puerto Rico
The dawn smelled like cinnamon
Cumulonimbus clouds hid the sun
[Chorus]
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(3rd and Broadway)
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(Land of Sad Days)
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(3rd and Broadway)
Quedate en tu apartamiento
(Land of Sad Days)
[Outro]
3rd and Broadway
Land of Sad Days
3rd and Broadway
Land of Sad Days
3rd + Broadway was written by David Arthur Brown.
3rd + Broadway was produced by David Arthur Brown & Greco Rossetti.
Brazzaville released 3rd + Broadway on Fri Mar 10 2000.
The idea for the music in this song came from an idea that David Ralicke had called Day of Brazza. It’s the keyboard hook you can hear in the track. I later wrote a kind of end of the world, wrong side of the tracks story for it.
