4 Camels

Joan Osborne · Other Songs - Joan Osborne

August in the city 90 degrees

The streets are full of arms and legs

The audience is hangin' on the corner

Just waitin' for some bones to beg



The sniper and the moving target

I can't talk talk until my face turn blue

Hey girl, you, girl put that right here

This what I'll do to you



I live, I live, I live on this street, oh yeah

I live, I live, I live on this street



The dogs are speakin' the men are howlin'

When we take our parts out for a walk

I could say, I should say, I would say

Does your mama know about the way you talk



Somewhere in Egypt I'm worth 4 camels

A strong healthy girl like me

On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look

But the women outside are free



I live, I live, I live, I live on this street

Oh I, I live on this street, yeah



[Incomprehensible]

All that he can't see, baby

Let us, let you stay girl

[Incomprehensible]



Ruler of the pavement

He owns all that he can see

On 42nd Street it's a quarter to look

But the women outside are free



I live

I live, I live, I live on this street

[Incomprehensible]

I live on this street, oh no, I livin'

I live on this street

[Incomprehensible]

I live, I live, I live on this street
