| 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 |
