In a tired part of the city
|
Hiding from the fast talk
|
Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'
|
Easy when you're dreaming
|
Staring at the movies
|
Standing in a circle,
|
Laughing at the wrong time.
|
|
If alcohol could take me there.
|
I'd take a shot a minute
|
And be there by the hour.
|
|
Take a walk around Times Square
|
With a pistol in my suitcase
|
And my eyes on the TV.
|
|
In a car taking a back seat
|
Staring out the window
|
Thinking about danger.
|
Playing in a wrong world
|
Fighting ? but I'm not free.
|
Talking on the telephone
|
Talking about you and me.
|
|
If Jesus Christ could take me here
|
I'd fall dawn on my knees,
|
Have no questions to His answers.
|
|
Take a walk around Times Square
|
With a pistol in my suitcase
|
And my eyes on the TV.
|
|
Alcohol could take me there.
|
I'd take a shot a minute
|
And be there by the hour.
|
|
Take a walk around Times Square
|
With a pistol in my suitcase
|
And my eyes on the TV.
|
|
And if I die gaining my senses
|
Wake up in a hotel
|
Staring at the ceiling.
