[length: 04:50]
[00:16.18]There’s diamonds in the avenue
[00:20.36]As the dayshift turns to night
[00:25.05]In the Empire dinner dreaming
[00:29.03]Hard rain, fluorescent lights
[00:33.34]As the waitress fills my coffee cup
[00:37.40]And the working girls go by
[00:42.18]Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming sex
[00:46.34]And peep show ali
[00:50.09]Everything underneath the skyline
[00:54.43]From the east side to the west
[00:58.68]I see the miracles in real time
[01:02.41]And there’s one I’ve loved the best
[01:07.06]See there’s an angel on the D train
[01:11.35]As she’s flying to my world
[01:15.66]And I’m waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
[01:25.32]Times Square looks like Avalon
[01:28.35]In a Disney morphine dream
[01:32.63]Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk
[01:36.92]At the counter next to me
[01:40.94]I wake up in the bed sometimes
[01:45.80]And watch her as she sleeps
[01:50.00]In the silence and the sirens
[01:53.81]I pray her soul to keep
[01:58.02]The catherine wheel burns bright tonight
[02:53.23]Down on the avenue
[02:57.59]But nowhere near as bright, my love
[03:01.88]As the fire that burns for you
[03:05.97]Everything underneath the skyline
[03:13.15]From the east side to the west
[03:18.10]Of the lives I’ve lived and those I’ve known
[03:21.43]There is one I’ve loved the best
[03:25.74]See there’s an angel on the C train
[03:29.86]As she’s flying to my world
[03:33.89]And I’m waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
[03:42.18]And I’m waiting for a N.Y.C. girl
