On this boulevard of broken dreams
The hustlers come to sell their schemes
And the broken people come to buy.



** Rocky hustles across to the piano player/singer** ...

"Could you maybe sing something a little lighter?  These guys don't come here because they're happy... and .. you know.. that song..."

"Oh... OK.... I was just... you understand ... giving out a little social thinking... Billy Joel got away with a lot of that..."

"*whispers*  You ain't Billy Joel.... go for something a bit lighter..."

"OK .... lemme see now...."

"Got a call from an old fiend,
Used to be real close...
Said he couldn't go on
The Sa-tanic Way...
Sold the soul, sold the imps,
Bought a ticket to the heavenly place ...
Now he gives 'em a stand-up routine at the gate....."
