human radio - n.y.c. lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
drinking in taxis
stuck in ant traffic in shadowlands
blood red graffiti i don’t understand
new hieroglyphics for the urban man
throbbing machinery deconstructed
architecture piled like leaves
i wiped my forehead on my sleeve
and now i see that i was so naive

[chorus]
new york is a lousy place to be alone
alone it’s a lousy place to be, new york

[verse 2]
leather soho shoppers
disregarding sleepers in the alleyway
sour urine set in concrete grey
side windows broken out of chevrolets
neon illusions, flashing trash seductions
jewels in a madman’s crown
the only smile i see in this whole town
are people grimacing upside+down

[chorus]
new york is a lousy place to be alone
alone, it’s a lousy place to be, new york
[bridge]
maybe i’ll come around
maybe i won’t come down
maybe i’ll hit the ground
and you’ll be sorry

[violin solo]

[verse 3]
crossing the bowery
in the middle of a nasty august afternoon
a skin as yellow as a jaundice moon
breathing existence from a tiny spoon
wake in a sea of sweat
it’s just a dream i’m having
in this hotel room
the tulips in the window are in bloom
but i know i will be leaving soon

[chorus]
new york is a lousy place to be alone
alone it’s a lousy place to be, new york
new york is a lousy place to be alone
alone it’s a lousy place to be, new york
