Lyrics excerpt ...
...
It's when Billy's whores are workin'
They're workin' with the skeleton crew
It's when the sky over Jersey
That sky starts to drain from view
It's when my woman pawns her voice so
So she can make her old excuses sound new
But I just want one clue
'Cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there's one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it's gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night
It's when the door to the River
That door is like 26 miles
It's when ambitious little girls start
They start to dream about a change in style
It's when the slick boys got their fingers
They got their fingers in the telephone dial
But I think I'll just wait a while
'Cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there's one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it's gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night
It's when the sneak thieves are checkin'
They're checkin the alleys for unlocked doors
And Billy's sister's gettin' frantic 'cause
'Cause Billy's sister's little brother can't score
It's when the woman from the dream is
Oh my God! That's the woman on the floor
Each promise was just one promise more
'Cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there's one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it's gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night
It's when Teddy's ghost is on the roof
Beatin' his drum
And Teddy's best friend is two blocks East
And he's makin' Teddy's ex-girlfriend come
You know, they mistook Teddy's blind trust
Just to prove that Teddy was dumb
But listen, you know, I think they are both just scum
'Cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there's one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it's gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night
It's when the body at the bottom
That body is my own reflection
But it ain't hip to sink that low
Unless you're gonna make a resurrection
They're always gonna come to your door
They're gonna say, "It's just a routine inspection"
But what you get when you open your door
What you get is just another injection
And there's always gonna be one more
With just a little bit less until the next one
They wait in shadows and steal the light from your eyes
To them vision's just some costly infection
But listen, you should come with me
I'm the fire, I'm the fire's reflection
I'm just a constant warning to take the other direction
Mister, I am your connection
'Cause when the city drops into the night
Before the darkness there's one moment of light
When everything seems clear
The other side, it seems so near
What seemed wrong?
I think it's gonna be just about right
Before the city drops, the city drops
Into the night

#7 Why do you care?
#7 | Posted by Effeteposer ... - Effeteposer "cares" because it's his job - he is a directly paid low-level "script chatbot" troll for Putin's Internet Research Agency (founded by Evgeny Prigozhin, founder of Wagner PMC).
Effeteposer has been running the same stupid Russian script for years now, with very slight variations, depending on how things were going in Ukraine. Initially it was to justify Russian invasion and promoting "Ukraine Nazis" and "everything wrong with the world is USA+NATO fault" and equating "both sides" pablum... basically - "Russians / Putin are well-intentioned but stupid fools that are trying to save the world from Nazis, like the great Soviet Union did in WW2, but fell for evil cunning USA and NATO trap in Ukraine because they justifiably feel threatened by NATO's expansion..." yada, yada, yada.
That no longer working, since 2024 the trolls were instructed to "mute" Russia and their efforts have been directed towards Israel-USA relations, so pretty much to turn any thread into bashing Israel, Jews ("ZioNazis"), Netanyahu, AIPAC, etc. and "mute" the words Hamas, PIJ, Hezbollah, Hoothies replacing them with "Palestinians," "people of Gaza," "Muslims," etc., while and emphasizing the usual "grievances" and agitprop KGB used against Israel since 1950s.
Anything to separate US allies from the US, though Trump is doing much more real damage on his own, but they are serving the same masters. There are now much better-skilled trolls than Effeteposer on this site alone, no doubt because many of his "ideas" have been well accepted here.
