drive, she said - forty-second street lyrics

earth, water, wind and fire
all the elements of your desire
but the truth will make you out a liar
as you run between your horror and the shame
transform you from the eagle to the snake
parade the dancing lights before you
tempt the ground beneath your feet
heal the air that’s come to taunt you
paradise that made you weak
finding words too hard to speak
turn the corner, can’t you see

here we are, it’s 42nd street
here we are, it’s 42nd street
this is not the way it has to be
but here we are, here we are, yeah

form the sands into your rosary
count the tears before they dry
his arrival is not hard to see
a carnival of appet-tes
let the circus that’s surrounding you
forge your crystal into light
has he come just to hang out with you
or is this fantasy your life
will he steal your flesh and blood
call it s-x or call it love
honesty was not enough

here you are at 42nd street
here we are, it’s 42nd street
this is not how it’s supposed to be
here we are, here we are

accused of slapping you
but the heat, it ain’t so rough, no
we consented to do donahue
but the crime had shed no blood, no blood
‘not dysfunctional enough’
said the eagle to the dove
children disappearing from the scene
tv cameras and the magazines
pander to our darkest curiosities
as criminals collect their royalties
never try to lift us up, hey, hey, yeah
wanna sell us one more beer or truck
to drive ourselves right out of luck

and here we are, it’s 42nd street
here we are, it’s 42nd street
hide from our vulnerability
here we are, here we are

through the mist i see the mystery
hear the crowd inside my mind
voices rise into a symphony
as they clamor for my sympathy
i tried to introduce them all to me
some are just content to hide
others rally by my side
all the voices come alive
they’re singin’

here we are on 42nd street
here we are, it’s 42nd street
take us far away from germany
here we are, here we are

feel the winds of mediocrity
does the water make you weep
cast your fate into the firelight
heal the earth beneath your feet
all the elements of your design
they are changing before your eyes
and the truth is making you a liar
send the smoke into the sky
one more time before we die
turn the corner, got to try
yeah, got to try

’cause, here we are on 42nd street
here we are, it’s forty deuce
doesn’t matter how it used to be
’cause, here we are, here we are

here we are on 42nd street
here we are, it’s 42nd street
this is not the way it has to be
but here we are, here we are
