lyrics

You once lived in midtown Manhattan, across the street from the YMCA. Trucks loaded and unloaded at night. The sound of the radiators hissed like a snake. We liked to go to the Pinnacle deli, walk to the river and look at the trams. Or United Nations with cops outside, or over the 2nd and catch a ride downtown.
Days will be days, ways will be ways, times will be times, rain and sunshine. That’s what life’s like, that’s just the days and the nights. It’s like rays of light around the eyes.
You live at Spring St. and Mott, meet friends every day at the coffee shop, talking about Andrea Martin and Martin Short, wearing velcro Pumas and khaki cords. I saw you in a Chelsea Gallery. You said the show got all fucked up. I walked back with headphones in my ears, and it was Murray St. all the way.
Life will be life, mind will be mind, change will be change, some wine would be nice. That’s what it feels like, that’s just the darks and the lights. It’s that nice time of the night.
You went to my favourite rock star’s party. He was turning 50 years old. “Is this a party I could attend, I said?” but you wouldn’t pay me no attention.
We walked the big park at Jamaica Bay. There were bugs that bit and never died. You hit them very hard with your hand, and still they just flew away.
