West Side Highway |
There’s a million Jews in New York |
And I’m one of them! |
There’s a million stars in the sky |
And a million cars on the West Side Highway |
Back at home, I didn’t feel this free |
Up and down the boulevard, I could hear them scream |
«Hey faggot», «How much?» |
«I'm gonna kick your ass motherfucker» |
But I held my head up high |
Let them suffocate and die |
In their ordinary lives |
There’s two hundred punks in the park |
And I’m one of them! |
There’s a place to go |
After all these years of feeling alone |
Back at home, walking down the street |
People pulled their kids aside |
Like I was some kind of disease |
But as much as I tried to hide |
And plug my ears it hurt inside |
It curled up and wounded my pride |
There’s a million Jews in New York |
And I’m one of them! |
There’s a million stars in the sky |
And a million cars on the West Side Highway |
As I ride, I can feel the street |
Like a river, it flows rapidly |
Through the city, it propels |
Me towards a tragic, bloody crash oh well |
An inch from death seems to be |
The only place to find some peace |
The only place to ride a bike and |
Feel alive and find a sense of pride |
And dignity |
