Times Square circa 1976

Two people worked on 42nd Street
She was a prostitute, He was a Gigolo
Their lives were all fucked up
Working the streets as full-time ho's

Surrounded by fleabag motels
VD was always a threat
Their drug use was active
Lurking each corner was death

She was raped numerous times
Some girl tried to cut off his dick
No one gave a fuck about them
The clients they've encountered were real sick

They both tried to escape
No such luck you know
Their lives have now ended
The trials & tribulations of being a ho.
