Bleecker St. Blues

Apartment's too warm

Bleecker Street glistens in the sun

Outside it's 3 a.m.

And we scream at the subway cars

Foggy eyes of a homeless man

Lay down below

Ain't it funny how people walk fast

Like they know where to go?



Don't break your heart

Honey, break your neck

As you get up from bed

And stumble to your death

You can wait on life,

But don't hold your breath



I'd like to forget the call

That I got last night, that I got last night

You said you're trading in your dreams

For a simpler life

It's hard to surmise that you've become

Everything that you hate

I can feel the wind from the platform

Like it's still yesterday



As for me,

I prefer my head in the clouds, my head in the clouds

And if it's ever to fall, I don't wanna be around, I don't wanna be around

As for me,

I prefer my head in the clouds

And if it's ever to fall I don't need to know right now



Don't break your heart

Honey, break your neck

As you get up from bed

And stumble to your death

You can wait on life,

But don't hold your breath
