歌词
We were all on the run in eighty-three
Jumping ‘round to Bowie with Cakehole Lee
Blues and red shoes
‘Aliens’ and all-night deep malaise
I was counting on you to take us through
Another Spanish Street café
We were floating up high or down on our knees
Big birds flying over bright blue seas
Booze and bylines
Dancing on The Highline with a brand new squeeze
I was looking to you, you caught me looking too
Say a prayer for Baby Blue
Take me away to where there’s music
Dance me into your night of stars
Show me the days of sweet romancing
American song, young lovers in cars
Baby joined the band in eighty-six
All-day-breakfast from an ‘All-Night Fix’
Scala Fridays
Horror flicks, cider and bagels at three
We were counting on Sue
To get us all through, to set us all free
We sat in ‘Cafe Lahlah’ with the queens of Upper-West
Sipping on our Marys with the worst of the best
New York claimed us
From the bums in the Bowery to Brooklyn Heights
You were the king of the town
But they pulled you down from the dirty city lights
Take me away to where there’s music
Dance me into your night of stars
Show me the days of sweet romancing
American song, young lovers in cars
We gave it the slip in ninety-nine
Drinking on The Riverboat, marking time
Fizz and fireworks
Leaving all our youthful fears behind
We were counting on love
To rise high above this empty new high-five
Years roll by like a dice in a game
Everything is different nothing has changed
We remember crying all day when Baby Blue died
Unlucky and unwise, but alive and true we said a prayer for Baby Blue
Take me away to where there’s music
Dance me into your night of stars
Show me the days of sweet romancing
American song, young lovers in bars
Unlikely and unwise, but alive and true
We said a prayer for Baby Blue
‘Brooklyn Danny’ we named you, Indy Blue, we danced to Thelma till 2
The snow fell down
The stars fell through
And made a crown for Baby Blue
