Soft Smoke

Caught the green line down at bleaker and broad
and now it's droppin' down to thirty below
I can't feel my toes but baby I'm on fire
we'll sleep on subways we'll spend time in cafes
these pretty girls and these Manhattan apartments
these New York City police are all rotten liars
Staton Island princess so pretty in pearls drop it down make it an uptown affair
you got the money and I got the drugs you're pretty pretty for a white white girl
take me to the Mercury Lounge let's see what trouble we can get in tonight
cause everywhere I go it's like the end of the world
but with your back to the wall you're gonna be the lonely one
if you dance all night you're gonna be loved
don't know where to start it's breaking my heart
how's anybody supposed to love you baby 'til you do?
