Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I Haven't slept in a week But it don't seem to matter to the subway squeakers squeaking at my feet
The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling on
Grand Central Station got a windy coming down Independence yesterday, ain't no one around Oh I still recognize her after all these years She still looks the same Oh, she still looks the same
The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling The city keeps on going Oh, we just keep on rolling Rolling on Rolling on.
When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off We're just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark's Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face She was just kissing my face
The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling Again, again, again The city keeps on going We just keep on rolling The city keeps on going Oh, we just keep on rolling Rolling on Rolling on
Just when I was sick and down There was a shaking on the ground We were hiding from the rain We were riding on the train Just when I was sink and down There was a shaking on the ground We were hiding from the rain We were riding on the train
She was dancing on the midway Just kissing my face She was dancing on the midway Just kissing my face Dancing on the midway Just kissing my face Dancing on the midway Just waving goodbye

My eyes were sad And my fingers were mad As I wrote this letter that said 'I wish you the best in your new royal address And I wish that he were dead' Guess you don't mind that he's got a wife And a mistress already in place You just throw back your hair And you'll say you don't care When you hide that look on your face
You used to have such a pretty little smile Yeah, but look at you now Yeah, but look at you now
He's a better man now that you're holding his hand Now that he's got yours to keep Oh, and I hope you can feel your someone who needs you When it comes for your turn to eat And so it seems his rich accent must mean that he's a bit brighter than me Oh, and I guess he won't lie through the whites in his eyes Or the gap in the front of his teeth
You used to have such a pretty little smile Yeah, but look at you now Yeah, but look at you now
Well, if I had to guess I would not be impressed By the cups of tea he can drink No, 'cause the fatter he gets from those caviar chips Is the faster your ship starts to sink Oh, and I guess I can't blame you If I had to shame you With the things I've done since you left town Probably have to tell your new lover Fetch a pail of water For your building crumbling down
You used to have such a pretty little smile Yeah, but look at you now Yeah, but look at you now
I screamed at your letter For half an hour Screamed til my throat was sore And I lost my voice when he lost your choice Don't ever come knock on my door
You used to have such a pretty little smile Yeah, but look at you now Honey, look at you now Oh, look at you now Look at you now Look at you now
Oh, look at you now Look at you now Look at you now
Late at night Midnight movie Got, no one to talk to, no one to see And I am, counting stars, 'cause I lie awake dear I know you ain't far, I know you ain't here With Me
So why do I get so lonely When there really ain't nothing wrong 'Cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me Can't sleep at all when you're gone Yeah and why do I stay out drinking When I should just get back home I guess the company of some strangers Is better than drinking alone
To tired to sing Walking down the street and, still can't sleep 'Cause there's too many things I got running around my head Can't put my thoughts to rest I think I'll wait outside the door When you wake I will confess
So why do I get so lonely When there really ain't nothing wrong 'Cause I can sleep just fine when you hold me Can't sleep at all when you're gone Yeah, and why do I stay out drinking When I should just get back home I guess the company of some strangers Is better than drinking alone

Oh, why do I get so lonely When there really ain't nothing wrong Oh, why do I get so lonely When there really ain't nothing wrong Oh, why do I get so lonely Yeah, there really ain't nothing wrong Oh, why do I get so lonely Yeah, when there really ain't nothing wrong

Lights from the motor bike shine through the bars on my face as i walked through the alley with a smile and guitar case and i climb on the stairs and reflect on the night we spent and im thinking about what you said and what it meant
you said, come back down, come back down, joe

she says, come back down, come back down, joe

Don't like to think about the way it ends I like to think you and I can be friends We were heavy on love and heavy on mistakes I'm so sorry it ended up this way, darling
Will someone paint the ceilings blue? But what's a blue sky if I can't have you to hold Under these stars of this faketown
Keep me falling down Keep me falling down
I play these bars and all I get is grief I drank too much, I'm heavy on my feet And I can't remember what my fingers used to do I stand in the rain too drunk to call you
So I'm falling down So I'm falling down
Yes I'm falling down Yes I'm falling down
I saw you falling down I saw you falling down
Where are you now Where are you now
I heard the radio, it was playing our song Don't know where you were, hope you sang along Used to be warm, you're warming (???)
And I'm falling down And I'm falling down
Used to have such a pretty smile Where are you now Where are you now
I do miss you I do miss you I do miss you
Do you miss me Do you miss me Do you miss me
And I was falling down And I was falling down And I was falling down
And I was falling down I was falling down I was...
