Paroles

Well the midnight’s on Manhattan 11th street and all alone
Countin’ cracks beneath my feat ’cause my head is hanging low
And the street lights all down b shining on the falling rain
Shadows dance across the street
Wind seems to whisper her name
But it’s this tired old town another sleepless night
Keep me wandering around down on the lower east side

So lay a star up in heaven shining down from up above
And the city is unforgiving when you’ve got no one to love
But i’ts more and more these days I find I need a place to hide
And it’s easy to get away when your down on the lower east side
Yeah it’s easy to get away when your down on the lower east side

Paroles

You got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning

You got a lotta nerve
To say you got a helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning

You say I let you down
You know it’s not like that
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it?

You say you lost your faith
But that’s not where it’s at
You had no faith to lose
And you know it

I know the reason
That you talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with

Do you take me for such a fool
To think I’d make contact
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with?

You see me on the street
You always act surprised
You say, « How are you? », « Good luck »
But you don’t mean it

When you know as well as me
You’d rather see me paralyzed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it?

No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them

And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand
It’s not my problem?

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment
I could be you

Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you.
