Sitting in traffic on the Tappan Zee
Fifty million people out in front of me
Trying to cross the water but it just might be a while
Rain's coming down I can't see a thing
Radio's broken so I'm whistling
New York to Nyack feels like a hundred miles

It's not right, It's not fair
I'm still a mess, And you still don't care
I go to work, I come back home
But you're still gone, And I'm still alone
And the little red light's not blinking
No, no the little red light's not blinking
No, no the little red light's not blinking
On my big black plastic Japanese cordless phone
Oh no

 

(RIP Adam Schlesinger)

New York, to that tall skyline I come, flyin' in from London to your door
New York, lookin' down on Central Park
Where they say you should not wander after dark


New York, like a scene from all those movies

But you're real enough to me, but there's a heart
A heart that lives in New York

 

A heart in New York, a rose on the street
I write my song to that city heartbeat

A heart in New York, love in her eye, an open door and a friend for the night

 

New York, you got money on your mind
And my words won't make a dime's worth a difference, so here's to you New York

Nine o'clock the next day and I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride to do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home? It sure was grand
When I come back here next year, I wanna see you again

What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl
Well there ain't no shame

Hey, all you people that tryin' to sleep
I'm out to make it with my midnight dream, yeah
'Cause I'm a back door man
The men don't know, but the little girls understand
All right, yeah
 
You men eat your dinner, eat your pork and beans
I eat more chicken than any man ever seen, yeah, yeah
I'm a back door man, wha
The men don't know, but the little girls understand

Just for a moment I stood there In silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run

Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride
Just as fast as I could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico

She's tight
She's ahead of her time
She's tight
She's one of a kind
She's tight
She's a talented girl
She's tight
She's got her head down tight

 

 

(time out) - WOW!!!!  I remember buying this album when it first came out and this wasn't even one of the "hits!"  Nice call, man!!!

 

(Game On!!!!)

I walk along the avenue
I never thought I'd meet a girl like you
Meet a girl like you
 
With auburn hair and tawny eyes
The kind of eyes that hypnotize me through
You hypnotize me through
 
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn't get away

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time


All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night
All day and all of the night

 

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah, all day and nighttime yours, leave me never

Well I get up in the morning
Kick the covers from my bed
The sunlight in my eyes
Playin' tricks on my head
I work like a dog
On the job every day
Tryin' to make some money
So I can go and play
 
In the night time
Oh that's the right time
I say the night time
That's the right time
I wanna be with you
In the night time

Up every morning just to keep a job (up!)
I gotta fight my way through the hustling mob (up!)
Sounds of the city pounding in my brain (up!)
While another day goes down the drain (up!)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) but it's a five o'clock world when the whistle blows
No-one owns a piece of my time
And there's a five o'clock me inside my clothes
Thinking that the world looks fine, yeah
A-da-lay-ee-ee (up, up, up!)

Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day
Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break
Drinks another coffe and she finds it hard to stay awake
It's just another day
