On a night with no lights, they found a young girl's body   Jigged and beaten and they made it a priority   But the boys in blue couldn't solve the case   Because the girl that hit the curb didn't have no face      They found her on Delancy street, Christmas Eve   No suspect sought, much to my relief   And I said wash your face little girl, for real   Pretend you came back with that mass appeal      Now diamonds for your pearl, clicking in heels   Shaking that ass for extra value meals   And down that part of town that frightens the masses   Filled with mean motherfuckers and noxious gases      Delancy, I love you, I need you   You're the only one for me   Delancy, I love you, I need you   I miss you on the south side of the street      Delancy, I love you, I need you   You're the only one for me   Delancy, I love you, I need you   South side, south side, south side      They're all bums, girl, they're all bums, girl   They're livin' in their fucked up places   I'm talking murder, I'm talking blackmail and jazz   And guys with burned up faces      Delancy, I love you, I need you   You're the only one for me   Delancy, I love you I need you   South side, south side      Delancy, I love you, I need you   You're the only one for me   Delancy, I love you, I need you   I miss you on the south side of the street   South side      You know that you're the flower, baby, I am Dr. Pepper   I saw you on the street and it made me feel much better   I dragged him 'cross the ground to show him what he'd done   I've seen an F train coming, shining like the sun      Yeah, I looked both ways before I pushed him in the track   I heard a scream, a crack and I never looked back      Delancy on my mind   Delancy on my mind   Delancy on my mind   Delancy on my mind, on my mind      South side, south side   Delancy on my mind, on my mind   Delancy on my mind, on my mind   Delancy on my mind, on my mind
