Cradle & All |
Fourteenth street, 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 yeah, 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 «Here'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 yeah, feel free to stare |
Rockabye baby in the treetop |
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock |
When the bough breaks, 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, and 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 yeah, feel free to stare |
Rockabye baby in the treetop |
When the wind blows, the cradle will rock |
And when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall |
And down will come baby, cradle and all |
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 yeah, feel free to stare |
Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare |
Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare |
Feel free to listen yeah, feel free to stare |
