Courtesy of Newark's own Wyclef Jean. This song, from his 1997 album "The Carnival," was a sort of spiritual inspiration for the novel in the very early days.
A remix can be found here. And here's a live version of the song featuring Soul Asylum.

Perfect addition to my MP3 player. Thanks!
I saw the Wyclef Jean profile last night on 60 Minutes.

Good timing. I didn't realize that was on. That was the rebroadcast of the earlier piece they did on him, right?
Probably, since it's the summer, it was a repeat. I've never seen it, but it's the piece that showed him going back to his native Haiti.
Okay, now that song has been in my head for two days. How do I get it out?

It has that haunting quality. And though it's ostensibly about drug running, it could be about any other number of situations as well.
