Slow New York

She's drunk enough when she is sober She don't need no alcohol Don't need no artificial means No amphetamines to cause her to fall She's like the rain in the middle of sunlight Leaves you confused, but still reborn I've been up all night, havin' a ball Starin' at the view of my brick wall in slow New York I heard that creaking in the hallway I wiped my eyes and turned on the light I took some medicine from the shelf Just a bad influence on myself when you're out of sight I thought she asked me for the world once All she wanted was some comfort and nothing more But like the morning's on Monday These things are colored gray in slow New York And if you go back to the night We'll go by the Sunday times A little salt, a couple lines to beat the heat You're gonna swear, I make 'em better Than the Mexicans on Remington Street Took the latch off of the front gate I hid the key up over the door If you wanna come home like you once said I'm still on the same side of the bed in slow New York If you wanna come home like you once said I'm still on the same side of the bed in slow New York Slow New York
