Westview Heights

I walk home, I'm hungry and tired

I got off at 8th street

And someone walks up to me

It's a crackhead

Yelling indistinct words

I just want to go home

There's the Crackmacs

Now I just want to have a shower but there's no hot water

This is what it's like

Living at Westview Heights

Sure, the view is nice

But what isn't is the screams at night

I've called 911 three times now

The operator knows my name

She says is it the guy with the machete again?

I say yes

"HEY! Get off the tracks!!"

I hear from my window at 3am

And then the train rumbles and shakes the whole building

Are these walls made of paper?

Cause I can hear my neighbour sneeze while waiting for the elevator

This is what it's like

Living at Westview heights

Sure, the view is nice

But what isn't is the fish smell in the front doors oh

Why can't we have a normal lobby

With more than just a bench?

There's a pool but it's closed due to COVID

So then why the hell am I paying rent?
