Every time I think that I'm
The only one who's lonely someone calls on me
And every now and then I spend
My time at rhyme and verse and curse those faults in me

 

And then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary
Then along comes Mary
Mary, Mary

Shalalala la la la
Uh huh

I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know she dances while his father plays guitar
She's suddenly beautiful
And we all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful

Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way

 

So, take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks

I wanna wake up in that city, that doesn't sleep
And find your king of the hill, top of the heap
Your small town blues, they're melting away
I'm gonna make a brand-new start of it, in old New York

Say you don't know me or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place
Knee deep in the hoopla, sinking in your fight
Too many runaways eating up the night

Marconi plays the mambo, listen to the radio
Don't you remember?
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Just a small town girl
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train going anywhere

 

Just a city boy
Born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train going anywhere

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

What I am is what I am
Are you what you are or what?

Are you what you are or?

I'm the is of the outer frame

A wishy washy dishy dame

Flushed my brains right down the drain

Dranjo brought them up again

It bubbles on the deep end

Now dranjo is my best friend

Hey baby, they're playing our song
The one we used to hear when
We used to get along
Hey baby, they're playing our song
Let's get bank together
That's where we belong

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun of your hand?
Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand? Oh
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man, yeah
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man
Huh, and that ain't too cool

As he fired up the drum machine
He stole a glance at the empty seats
He took a minute to retune his guitar
As the hour grew late

 

I wanna send this out to Richie Vey
In his thrift-store corner of the world
His soul is my cheap laugh
As the hour grows late

I'm gonna take you girl and hold you
And do all things I told you in the midnight hour
Yes I am, yes I am
One more thing I just wanna say right here

Posted

Hold on, nothing's the same

Tell me why I feel this way

Life wouldn't be worth living without you

All along I've been the pretender

But now that's gone forever

Nobody's ever loved me like you do

Nobody's broken through
