Rancid - Hoover Street lyrics

Album: Life Won´t Wait (1998)

HOOVER STREET / Rancid / Life Wont Wait

She has a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically & then he spread around

On Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little, the kid cashed/cast the woes
Of a ??? girl she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da head

Now see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he has done so God bless the man
And the cocaine moves too fast through their system
Like a river forever winding
To the last party of the under/loner class

??? distance just a bunch of kids who don´t want to finish last
Now see the market place has changed the weight of the scale
You either get out & die or go to jail
And your best intentions splinter & frail/fail
And a few weeks of promises & attempts fail

It is a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yea

Glass-pipe murder
It is a glass-pipe murder
Oh yea!!!

(Oh yea!!!)
(Oh yea!!!)
(Oh yea!!!)

They kick a bottle of beer & a letter
Simple (sip of?) things made Mario feel better
You see it falls on you & it falls on me
Self-annihilation, catastrophe

Two packs of cigarettes
For two dollars & seventy cents & a
Bottle of wine that is been opened
And he said, "Why do I do this?"

A shiver through his body like a bottle of CC
Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It is who I´m baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changed

You see, no one stood up & cheered for him
Everyone sat down with smth that happened
Began... to happen
It is an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...

It is a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yea

Glass-pipe murder
It is a glass-pipe murder
Oh yea!!!

(Oh yea!!!)
(Oh yea!!!)
(Oh yea!!!)

Who was the killer?... it is in the...
