West 4th & 6th

We had Mexican beers on a fire escape Swore that the stars spelled out our names So we slept with the windows open There were church bells, sirens and car alarms In three-part harmony right after dawn We walked down to the diner Brought a smoke but I lost my lighter Yeah, sometimes you just gotta get away To a place where nobody knows your name Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night Take your hand and lead you astray Funny how you feel brand new Down West 4th and 6th avenue On the ride into port authority Got a taxi cab lecture on eternity He said let go of the burdens and troubles you carry Cause this life is nothing but temporary Sometimes you just gotta get away To a place where nobody knows your name Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night Take your hand and lead you astray Funny how you feel brand new Down West 4th and 6th avenue All the glass and the steel make you feel so small They cut through the sky and remind you it ain't all About your problems, your past, the nights you can't get back Get on the train, stop fighting the track Cause sometimes you just gotta get away To a place where nobody knows your name Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night Take your hand and lead you astray Funny how you feel brand new Down West 4th and 6th avenue
