lyrics

Oh Lucy my Lucy
Where are you going my Lucy?
I am only singing for you
So that one day you will forget me.
Oh, someday I will find them
The fortunes I hold dear.
From the city that will never
Ever forget, what they heard tonight.

Ambitions, ambitions
Generations of dreamers
With their sleeplessness and
Their lonely nights
Who can ever reconcile their loss?
Hoping someday their passions
Will rake in some more green men.
But I will have to stop and wait it out,
Because my city is there forever

Then one day they all called to you
Although you were no where near.
A search for skies, and ground, and space
And oceans of the deepest depths.
Then they were all done, and I was older still.
I am trapped inside a capsule of time
Spiral staircase up then down.
Foreign dialect spoken by lovers,
I assume.
The lights stain my view
My time is measured in footsteps.

"You gotta make it quick
You gotta make it fast.
Make is jiffier and chappier
Than a jackrabbit on a hot summers night.
Leave in the morning.
It's NYC the city that never sleeps
Big Apple; the greatest and smelliest city on earth
is waiting for you, you, and YOU."

It's the loneliness, it keeps me young.
It keeps me going.
