Magpie Tales 207: Hero in New York

Come down, come down,
please, you gotta come down
Street knows your here
Perfume stronger than exhaust

Goddamnit, woman, come down
I ain't no Stanley, no Casanova, 
Juliet isn't your name,
No one calls me Romeo

Come down, once more,
Sirens' wail doesn't call me home
Only a desperate reminder
I'm Odysseus on the rocks
