Nettles, Jennifer - King Of The City Lyrics
My name is Jose, but they call me "The Rey"
My throne sits downtown in the air
I wash all the windows to thirty-six floors
And man, I just love it up there
The hospital next to our home
Now she takes care of babies
For a nice white lady too busy to raisin' her own
I used to wash dishes on Bowery and Ninth
Ran pizzas around on a back
Yeah, I'd do what it takes, gettin' paid half the wage
Any job the gringos don't like
All the way up here is so quiet
I look around, ain't it pretty?
It's good to be king of the city
That day in September, I'll always remember
Started out just like the rest
I was floor 26, when the first plane hit
And I still feel that sound in my chest
It's true I wasn't born here, but my heart is sworn here
To hold up your dreams with my own
That day on my perch, I made it to church
And I prayed for each soul to fly home
See, I watched them fall from that buildin'
And I wept for all of their wives and their children
I won't forget, it'll always get me
The saddest day to be king of the city
My name is Jose, they call me "The Rey"
My throne sits downtown in the air
