Nitty Gritty Mission City, Late at night, sure is pretty. Tags on street, Benches fade right. Cops in cars and motor bikes, Señoritas with skirts and cigarettes that I like. Nitty Gritty Mission City, Late at night and it sure is pretty. Tags in black and brown and red, Tags in red and brown and black, The harder sounds keep coming back. Nitty Gritty Mission City, Metal gliding, graphic shitty. Starry eyed gals, they walkin' quickly, Pillows on sides, rubbers, sticky, Acid on glass, bars fade quickly, Cold metal strapped down, Green tile, red ground, Crackling cans beneath the sound... No parking, insurance sounds. Nitty Gritty Mission City Late at night, and it sure is pretty. Cop a feel, Hum a tune, Shoot it up towards the moon, I can see why Jerry wrote his song, Curse him loud, he got it wrong, Two story Victorians, turned to hotels, Smoke shop, bar, Bradies gone to hell, Red white and blue stork, Muriels. Purple tiles shine above, 10 percent off, some call it love, Club M-One Six, approach upon... Nitty Gritty Mission City Late at night, and it sure is pretty. Hum a tune, Carry a rift, Skater’s ash sparks the spliff, Newspaper windows that conceal, The angst that permanent ink reveals, Electric wire overhead, Square glass bottle on the side walk. A blue mural slows my fast artistic walk. Nitty Gritty Mission City, Late at night, sure is pretty.
