the children are slow on my side of the city they're all acting tough they're looking so pretty they hide in the dark cause bright lights are so deadly the radio screams their friends are never on time they're never on time and mexican boys are holding down the corners heart beats away you'll make your mother mourn ya girlfriend pace quick from one side to another they're holding their own the trouble's never on time it's never on time well there's nothing in the world that I want to see there's nowhere oh no where that I'd rather be than here with you oh holding me near and all the girls sell on my side of the city they look a little rough they're looking so pretty shift is a drag the weather's always sh**ty they get what they can the men are always on time they're always on time and undercover cops are looking for a s**er always want to trade for a little treasure they only ask once they only give the pleasure they give you a lift when trains are never on time they're never on time well there's nothing in the world that I want to see there's nowhere oh no where that I'd rather be than here with you oh holding me here so make your way to the ocean let the warm cool breeze just soak into your bones
