Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shattered
Shattered
Huh, Sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
[Verse 2]
If love and hope and sex and dreams are still surviving on the street
Look at me
I'm Shattered
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
[Verse 3]
My 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
[Verse 4]
And laughter, joy, and loneliness, that's what makes it sound the best
Laughter, joy and dirty dreams, will still survive  with all these dreams
Look at me
Shattered
Shattered
Huh
Shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
[Verse 5]
All this chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter  about to
Shmatta, shmatta, shmatta
I can't give it away on Seventh Avenue
This town's been wearing tatters
[Verse 6]
And laughter, joy, and loneliness, that's what makes it sound the best
Laughter, joy and dirty dreams, will still survive with all these dreams
Look at me
Shattered
All right
Shattered
[Verse 7]
Well, look at me
Shattered
Look at me
Shattered
Look at me
Shattered
Look at me
Shattered
[Verse 8]
And laughter, joy, and loneliness, that's what makes it sound the best
Laughter, joy and dirty dreams, will still survive with all those dreams
Look at me
Shattered
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
[Verse 9]
Don't you know the crime rate is going up, up, up, up, up
Huh, Sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
To live in this town you must be tough, tough, tough, tough, tough
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
We 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 splattered all over Manhattan
[Verse 10]
Huh, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
[Verse 11]
You know, my brain's been splattered all over  Manhattan
Sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Hey, go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don't mind the maggots
Shattered
Sh-a doobie
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered
Huh, sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
[Verse 12]
You know, all my friends they come around
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Sh-a doobie
Shattered, shattered
Pile it up, pile it up, pile high on the platter
