| The hours just slipped through
|
| It feels so empty again
|
| You look so sad in the morning light
|
| I’d be confused, too, you’re drifting in time
|
| Can you read in between these lines?
|
| What’s left on the menu?
|
| You’ve got the money to spend
|
| You are your own favorite friend, you shine
|
| You don’t let them fool you
|
| But you’re frozen in time, in the ruins of ‘69
|
| Stuck in a phone booth
|
| You’re repeating the same drunk dials
|
| Is there someone to hold you
|
| When you’re hanging from bourbon skies?
|
| Not every bitter end hides a second chance
|
| Down the avenue of drawn-out nights
|
| Falling off the edge, you do the devil’s dance
|
| You’re rolling with the cool kids in town
|
| There’s no meaning in truth at 2
|
| It’ll change around 5, a variation of lies aligned
|
| You got the tools to, to make it feel alright
|
| In your own New York state of mind
|
| Who’s left to hold you
|
| As you’re cutting off every tie?
|
| As cold as the Danube, in the winter of '89
|
| Not every bitter end hides a second chance
|
| Down the avenue of drawn-out nights
|
| Falling off the edge, you do the devil’s dance
|
| You’re rolling with the cool kids in town |
