mister street

mister Street
wants all the meat he can rip off
the bones of the world

walks tall past it all
strong as a Wall
built according to plan

mister Street
will throw you a treat
and take what he knows is his,
just knows it is,
according to plan

written about a lover but today I'm thinkin' Wall Street,
therefore capitalization added
