Lyrics
DEBRINA'S ON FIRE by Deborah Wilbrink c. 2025
YOUNG MAN KNIFED THE CONDUCTOR, SENT THE SUBWAY ON A STRIKE
GUNSHOTS FROM A RIDER MEANS DIVE ON ANOTHER DEATHLY
ONE THOUSAND OF NEW YORK’S FINEST NOW PATROL THE METRO STATIONS
BUT YOU CAN’T BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE IN MASS TRANSPORTATION
CRIME IS GOING DOWN, BUT THE CRIMES ARE GETTING WORSE
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, THE COPS ARE CALLING THE HEARSE
WHO CARES WHEN THE DESPERATE DIE, WHO CARES WHEN THE CRAZY CRY?
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, NOBODY KNOWS WHY
DEBRINA RODE THE F LINE THROUGH DECEMBER’S FREEZING COLD
GAVE HER DREAMS UP YEARS AGO, LIKE A BLANKET GROWING MOLD
THAT MILLION DOLLAR SMILE SHE HAD - BOUGHT NOTHING LIKE A HOME
SO TO CONEY ISLAND AND BACK AGAIN, DEBRINA RODE ALONE
CRIME IS GOING DOWN, BUT THE CRIMES ARE GETTING WORSE
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, THE COPS ARE CALLING THE HEARSE
WHO CARES WHEN THE DESPERATE DIE, WHO CARES WHEN THE CRAZY CRY?
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, NOBODY KNOWS WHY
THE SLAYER MARKED HER HELPLESS, A WOMAN HUDDLED AND STILL
FLICKED HIS LIGHTER, SET HER ON FIRE, OUT O’ PURE ILL WILL
JUMPED OUT, TURNED BACK, COULDN’T LET HER STORY LIVE
CRUELLY FANNED THE FLAMES ON THE TRAIN WITH ALL HE HAD TO GIVE
CRIME IS GOING DOWN, BUT THE CRIMES ARE GETTING WORSE
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, THE COPS ARE CALLING THE HEARSE
WHO CARES WHEN THE DESPERATE DIE, WHO CARES WHEN THE CRAZY CRY?
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, NOBODY KNOWS WHY
POOR DEBRINA’S ON FIRE, NOBODY KNOWS WHY
