I was wasted late last night, a young girl asked me for a light
I felt like I’d been here before when the demon life is a open door
Come on down I’ve been burning with all that’s left inside of me
Comin’ down the generations, haunted by the history
I had a girl who shared my name, she stood like a flower but she fell like rain
Tattooed knuckles that spell “only” four letters couldn’t hold me
Come on down I’ve been burning with all that’s left inside of me
Comin down the generations, haunted by the history
I’m burnin on the Bowery, I’m burnin’ on the Bowery
Right back here where you found me, still burnin’ on the Bowery
My grandfather worked these streets, took my grandma to the Roseland beat
Society of Vinacola, graveyard shift and rock ‘n’ rollers
Come on down I’ve been burning with all that’s left inside of me
Comin’ down the generations, haunted by the history
I’m burnin on the Bowery, I’m burnin’ on the Bowery
Right back here where you found me, still burnin’ on the Bowery
Lonely voices on the phone, say “Hey hey is Artie home?”
I’m gunna call up Jimmy G. Find out what’s gone wrong with me
Indian trails and sidewalk strays, old school hardcore matinees
Ginsberg’s tears and Thunders’ cross, the things we won and the ones we lost
I’m burnin on the Bowery, I’m burnin’ on the Bowery
Right back here where you found me, still burnin’ on the Bowery
I’m burnin on the Bowery, I’m burnin’ on the Bowery
Got something to empower me, still burnin’ on the Bowery

I love this entire album. Every track is a winner. The album is well mixed. It sounds great on my computer's stereo sound system. It is almost as good as the sound quality of my vinyl record sound system. And Jesse's voice has never sounded more powerful and confident. Definitely a Five-Star album. dansp
