	Story Behind the Song Varick St. – A crunchy blues song with a horn section over the chorus. The vocals get gutsier and grittier. A wailing guitar solo played over the verse chords leads the listener on a good groove out of the song. The vocals lament the city’s way of passing us around and pushing us through a maze. (This song was written at 3:30 am on Varick Street in New York City while sitting traffic waiting to get into the Holland Tunnel after leaving a cinqo de mayo party (2001) on the West side.)

Lyrics E7 – D#7- D7 –G – G# - A Verse 1: My hope is evaporating Like the frost across my windshield The traffic crawls around me And everyone refuses to yield A woman pulls alongside me But she don’t dare to meet my eyes Chorus 1: And the horns they verbalize All the captured frustration And we fail to realize that this is our civilization Here on varick street…. Verse 2: I watch the people on the street They have eyes that always look down With a sidewalk for a future And the streets just pass us around And were all runnin through the maze And were all punching out our days Chorus 2: And the buildings…oh the buildings Set in steel and stone And these buildings like solid prisons Chill me to the bone Here on Varick Street Verse 3: And when I look forward I just forget where I came from And when I check my mirror I lose focus on what’s to come Verse 4: And there’s a man who looks like Jesus In the Lexus next to me Seems like there’s no salvation Left on varick street No no no salvation Left on varick street Chorus 1: And the horns they verbalize All the captured frustration And we fail to realize Is this is our made up civilization Here on varick street….
