Hello traveler What you wanna do is try to get out alive Pimps and hoes on the sidelines don’t stop and stare Keep the flair Ain’t gonna happen until you break it Forgetabboutit You gonna get mugged Garbage bags piled on street corners Keep walking Keep talking Living color on every block Slash-and-burn you wonder why it’s easier to find a bag of heroin than a quart of milk at your local store Slice of life Just under the knife Give’em all you got Motherfuckers Be bop the pop on a dead beat choose your favorite criminals You’re in fear City

Dog Walk II 05:00
I was laying on the couch when I heard a knock at my door I went to open it and there he was I couldn’t believe it: Cooper was back! I would have thought he’d reincarnate as a plant, or as a fat girl in Ohio, but no - he reincarnated as himself. The same old fucking dog. It was now springtime in New York and I was sitting on my stoop again. Cooper sat there as I smoked cigarettes. Suddenly, he started barking at a woman across the street She came over and asked what his name was I said “Cooper” She said, “great name for a dog” “You think?” We ended up in her apartment. Her name was Daisy and she had beautiful eyes, there was just a little problem, she had a huge cat who didn’t look that friendly Cooper was afraid and hid behind a couch Daisy said “don’t worry, she doesn’t bite.” Daisy grabbed me and pushed me into the bedroom but I managed to drop a few Xanaxs into a cup of milk I’d figured that would relax the mini-tiger. I closed the door. Poor Cooper I thought.… Then Daisy grabbed me and threw me in the bed She exploded on me like a volcano! She was on top and she screamed like a red fox The sex was so hot and steamy I felt like singing the national anthem. Funny right? But I had to keep my energy up. Then she had an orgasm and passed out. She went right to sleep on me. I was looking at the ceiling when I heard a commotion coming from the living room. So, I went to check on Cooper I couldn´t believe it! He was now fucking the poor cat from behind. Doggy style. I checked my pockets and I realized that I had put the wrong pills in the milk I used Viagra instead of Xanax Them fucking pills, I never know which one is which. Daisy woke up and started screaming “Your dog is raping my cat!!!” I tried to separate Cooper from the mini-tiger while she called the police on me! I ran up eighth avenue as I heard the sirens coming Fucking Cooper! OK, great. Print it. Shut up Cooper!

Baby, Take me away from you Don’t let me take you in I’m more than I can handle I’m more than you can take I don’t want to hurt you I don’t want to let you go But my world is too lonely What you see is not what you see I’m not who you want me to be I have to be who I am I can’t be another man

Liner notes:
“Hello, Traveler!” That's the initial greeting you hear from your conductor as you embark on the second leg of the sonic journey that will eventually transport you to Cinema Imaginado's final destination. First stop: Fear City. As you attempt to sit back and get comfortable, your imagination may very well remain glued to the edge of its seat – itching, fidgeting, twitching, until it becomes one with the gritty scenery that rhythmically flies by the side window of your psyche. Poetry in motion? A sidewalk ballet? Like a searing game of stickball – or even of ringolevio – life on these mean streets has always been animated by a constant blur of tension and turmoil. Until it isn't. That's when the bright-pink, rubber Spaldeen stops bouncing and everything comes to a grinding halt with a piercing yelp, much like the screeching metal brakes of the uptown express pulling into a station named Elsewhere. Or is it...Nowhere? All you're left with is a memory. Or at the very least, the sense of what could eventually become one.
