  174>Shattered, shattered
 Love and hope and sex and dreams
 Are still surviving on the street
 Look at me, I'm in tatters!
 I'm a shattered
 Shattered
  Friends are so alarming
 And my lover's never charming
 Life's just a cocktail party on the street
 Big Apple
 People dressed in plastic bags
 Directing traffic
 Some kind of fashion
 Shattered
  Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
 Look at me, I'm in tatters
 I'm a shattered
 Shattered
  All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout
 Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta -- I can't give it away on 7th Avenue
 This town's been wearing tatters (shattered, shattered)
 Work and work for love and sex
 Ain't you hungry for success, success, success, success
 Does it matter? (Shattered) Does it matter?
 I'm shattered.
 Shattered
  Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
 I'm a shattered
 Look at me- I'm a shattered, yeah
  Pride and joy and greed and sex
 That's what makes our town the best
 Pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street
 And look at me, I'm in tatters, yeah
 I've been battered, what does it matter
 Does it matter, uh-huh
 Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered
  Don't you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
 To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough!
 You got rats on the west side
 Bed bugs uptown
 What a mess this town's in tatters I've been shattered
 My brain's been battered, splattered all over Manhattan
  Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers
 Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots, huh
 Shadoobie, my brain's been battered
 My friends they come around they
 Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
 Pile it up, pile it high on the platter
