Hey, taxi
Hey, where ya wanna go ?
Central Park, man
Central Park ? ha ha ha

What's that sound that woke up me ?
Sounds like drum beats from a native country
Well, I had enough of this hotel room to last me for a night
So I'm gonna find those drums in this early morning's light.

Done stepped out in the day, feels good outside
Now just to catch a cab and get a ride.

(Hey) gonna make my way down to Central Park
(Hey) yhey're really having fun down at Central Park.

Well, they got girls that'll tease you, hot dogs out of season
Card games all night, inhuman hermaphrodites
They got rings for your fingers, parties for the swingers.

(Hey) gonna take the subway to Central Park
(Hey) gonna take my shorts and my suntan to Central Park.

(Hey) they're really having fun down at Central Park
(Hey) gonna take the subway to Central Park
(Hey) gonna make my way down to Central Park
(Hey) so you can find me down at Central Park.

Well, I came in here on Sunday
Was takin' for my change
And I share the air in this cold, cold room with you.

I don't know my reasons
Don't even know the road I came on
Lord, I swear sometimes I needs to talk to you.

Someday, gonna be a change in me
Someday, gonna be a change
Someday, bound to be a change.

So I turned around to leave here
You wouldn't hear me so what could I do ?
I say my amens and hold the candles, I'm so confused.

You know you leave me here with this attitude
On tomorrow's cancellation
Guess it's all the same to me if it's all the same to you.

Someday, gonna be a change in me
Someday, gonna be a change
Someday, bound to be a change.

Someday, gonna be a change in me
Someday, gonna be a change in me
Someday, gonna be a change.

When I was a little boy I felt so all alone
From a quiet country house that I had to call home
Livin' with a couple folks, rich millionaires
Sat on their money, Lord, it seemed they didn't care.

Finally we moved to our own place
Where I could walk around with a smile on my face
But I knew, in order to be a man
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land.

Gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there.

Came to the streets in the big city
Looked at the lights and I thought they were pretty
Told me they'd teach me to live by their rules
So I wouldn't be nobody's fool.

I found out not too long
Their rules wouldn't let me sing my song
I knew in order to be a man
I had to pull up my roots and move on in this land.

Gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there.

Oh, now!

Gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there.

Stuck on a gig, nine to five
Workin' for peanuts to stay alive
Then I thought I'd take the chance
Grab my guitar and pack my pants.

I took the rumors and ridicule
But there was no choice what I had left to do
I knew in order not to conceal
I had to play my music and express what I feel.

Gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there.

Gonna move away from here
So you can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
So you can find me if you wanna go there.

Gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there
I'm gonna move away from here
You can find me if you wanna go there.

Sweet lovin' woman
Sweet lovin' woman friend of mine
Sweet lovin' woman
Sweet lovin' woman friend of mine.

Well, you let me through your pride
Made me feel so good inside
You pick me up when I'm down
And, girl, you turn my head around 'cause you're just a ..

Sweet lovin' woman
Sweet lovin' woman friend of mine.

Sure as the sunlight lights up my day

You got somethin' I can't live without
And that's why the whole world can hear me shout about my ..

Can't you tell me how you been ? Is it so bad ?
I can't believe the shape you're in, you're lookin' so sad
Well, they don't ask you what you're thinkin'
Hey, and this whole bar's out of what I'm drinkin'
Well, you know you got your fools
And then you got your folks without
I think you'll know what I'm talkin' about.

When you're down to nothin'
You're all alone
When you're down to nothin'
You gotta do it on your own.

How many times have you really tried
To live that dream you've been keepin' hidden inside ?
Put your sweat into it, don't quit until you do it
At least then you can say you tried.

When you're down to nothin'
You're all alone
When you're down to nothin'
You gotta do it on your own.

You're ddddd-down to nothin', baby
Don't get caught
Down to nothin'
Ddddd-down to nothin', baby, hey.

Hey there, lady, don't mind sayin'
I've been followin' you
What's this cryin' falls like diamonds
Are we close to the truth ?

With a hand in hand down the line
Ain't no tellin' what we might find
When we see our tears (turn into diamonds)
(Shinin', yours and mine)
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', yours and mine).

Hey there, lady, might sound crazy
But let's move into the light
Once we found out what this town's about
Emerald City is finally in sight.

With a hand in hand down the line
Ain't no tellin' what we might find
When we see our tears (turn into diamonds)
(Shinin', yours and mine)
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', yours and mine).

With this love just a step away
Will it hold out it's hand and sigh ?
We can deal with it in our own feelings
Straight ahead showing you
Girl, where we're going to ?

When we see our tears turn into diamonds
Shinin', yours and mine
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', shinin')
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', yours and mine)
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', yours and mine)
(Tears turn into diamonds shinin', yours and mine)

Night flows without a break in the action
And pain roles in tollin' the truth
And I've checked your slick reaction
I could be wrong but this might be your last reel, I've seen this movie.

You're fall-fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin' out.

Low clouds confirm suspicion
Holdin' check on my walkin' shoes
I can't support your fashion
I could be wrong but what you lack in passion ain't foolin' me.

You're fall-fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'.

Seen you talkin' to that married man
Heard the car pull up back door slam.

So take your last look at this man
With my ring and a thing that I thought we had
'Cause this is goodbye, baby
I'm down the block already, I could be wrong but ain't no turnin' back, no not now.

'Cause you're fall-fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Yes, you're fall-fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
You know you're fall-fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin', fallin'
Fallin' out.

(Fall-fallin' out)
(Fall-fallin' out)
(Fall-fallin' out)
(Fall-fallin' out)

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be that way
But I get a little confused keepin' up with each day
'Cause, you see, I'm just sharin' this time breathin' the smog with you, with you
So excuse me for livin' in this life that I've been given
And those moments wasted dealin' with the dues.

Just a minute, my friend
Every day gets closer to the end
Looks like a showdown day
In a ghost town parade.

Rich folks livin' the good life, poor folks, down and blue
There's a man above sayin' they're livin' in pari passu
The birds are weary from flyin' against the headwinds from people's minds
Newton's down on gravity and who can measure time.

Just a minute, my friend
Every day gets closer to the end
Looks like a showdown day
In a ghost town parade.

Just a minute, my friend
Every day gets closer to the end
Looks like a showdown day
In a ghost town parade.
