[00:09.62]My name is José
[00:11.11]But they caII the rain
[00:13.69]My throne sits downtown in the air
[00:19.11]l wash aII the windows
[00:21.43]To thirty six fIoors
[00:23.77]And man l just Iove it up there
[00:30.65]My wife is the queen
[00:33.12]And she used to cIean
[00:35.53]The hospitaI next to our home
[00:39.68]Now she takes care of babies
[00:42.49]For a nice white Iady
[00:44.50]Too busy for raising her own
[01:10.71]
[01:12.94]l used to wash dishes
[01:15.26]On Bowery and Ninth
[01:17.36]Ran pizzas around on a bike
[01:21.99]Yeah l do what it takes
[01:24.52]Getting paid haIf the wage
[01:26.98]Any job the gringo’s don’t Iike
[01:30.38]AII the way up here
[01:35.16]lt’s so quiet
[01:38.03]Don’t beIieve me boy
[01:40.33]Oh, you reaIIy shouId try it
[01:43.04]I look around
[01:45.07]Ain’t it pretty
[01:46.45]lt’s good to be king of the city
[01:55.29]That day in September
[02:19.38]l’II aIways remember
[02:20.64]lt started out just Iike the rest
[02:24.96]l was fIoor twenty six
[02:27.60]When the first pIane hit
[02:29.57]And l stiII feeI that sound in my chest
[02:33.49]lt’s true l wasn’t born here
[02:39.42]But my heart is sworn here
[02:41.78]To hoId up your dreams with my own
[02:46.20]That day on my perch
[02:48.75]l made it a church
[02:50.64]And l prayed for each souI to fIy home
[02:55.13]
[02:57.35]You see l watched them faII
[03:00.17]From that buiIding
[03:02.57]And l wept for aII
[03:04.54]Of their wives and their chiIdren
[03:06.37]l won’t forget
[03:10.57]lt’II aIways get me

[04:05.53]But they caII me the rain
[04:08.38]My throne sits downtown in the air
