 I got no light

New Baby cries
In Milwaukee
   A forest of bourbon bottles 
Are smitten in waves
  But it's all I got
  As I lounge in bed dreaming of another enchilada 
        With steps up to the 
Street named Matamoros
    I'm a gringo
So what?
     I'll have a Jamaica 
(Hibiscus drink)
    The girls on the sidewalk 
Make tacos for 75 cents
    Sisters 
And the shop that sells tortas 
  With the old man 
Has no sign
   Because it costs money to 
Have a sign
