|
Fourteenth street and the garbage swirls like a cyclone |
|
Three o'clock in the afternoon and I am going home |
|
F train is full of high school students |
|
So much shouting |
|
So much laughter |
|
Last night's underwear in my back pocket |
|
Sure sign of the morning after |
|
Take me home |
|
Take me home and leave me there |
|
Think I'm going to cry, I don't know why |
|
Think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby |
|
Feel free to listen |
|
Feel free to stare |
|
I live in New York New York the city that never shuts up |
|
In the daylight everything is so gory |
|
You can hear snatches of stranger's sorry stories |
|
And I moved there from Buffalo but that's nothing |
|
The TRICO plant moved to Mexico |
|
Left my uncle standing out in the cold |
|
Said there's your last paycheck have fun growing old |
|
Take me home |
|
Take me home and leave me there |
|
Think I'm going to cry, I don't know why |
|
Think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby |
|
Feel free to listen |
|
Feel free to stare |
|
Rockabye baby |
|
In the treetop |
|
When the wind blows |
|
Cradle will rock |
|
When the bough breaks |
|
The cradle will fall |
|
Down will come baby |
|
Cradle and all |
|
Youth is beauty |
|
Money is beauty |
|
Hell, beauty is beauty sometimes |
|
It's the luck of the draw |
|
It's the natural law |
|
It's a joke |
|
It's a crime |
|
I was bored |
|
You were bored |
|
It was a meeting of the minds |
|
Now it's three in the afternoon and I can't leave too soon |
|
Saying thank you, I had a nice time |
|
Take me home |
|
Take me home and leave me there |
|
Think I'm going to cry, I don't know why |
|
Think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby |
|
Feel free to listen |
|
Feel free to stare |
|
Maybe I'll live my whole life |
|
Just getting by |
|
Maybe I'll be discovered |
|
Maybe I'll be colonized |
|
You could try to train me like a pet |
|
You could try to teach me to behave |
|
But I'll tell you, if I haven't learned it yet |
|
You know, |
|
I ain't gonna sit, I ain't gonna stay |
|
Take me home |
|
Take me home and leave me there |
|
Think I'm going to cry, I don't know why |
|
Think I'm going to sing myself a lullaby |
|
Feel free to listen |
|
Feel free to stare |
