alphabet city

far from the edges of town
lights in the window with the blinds pulled down
walk across the street
some figure pulls back the shade
and you got this icy feeling that you got to escape

oh cause they know every flaw
and tell your parents it’s my fault
—you are what you are
don’t be ashamed
it’s just your nature to feel this pain

you watch the world through the blinds in your room
the city stares back through the distance
in gilded light

you say ‘i’m too old not to know what’s going on
ah baby come take me
take me home,’
to the alphabet city
take me back to the alphabet city
these people are crazy here
these people are crazy
and you feel so sure
your kindred is waiting for you there–

you’ll wait outside in the frost
in the darkness before the day
you’ll wait outside with the faceless hooded strangers for the yellow eyes of the train to
come and tear you away
down to the shadowy core
where the wh0r-s hustle, so you better know the score, boy
your at the beck and call of the candle flame
you burned your little wings black
and ain’t got no one to blame

when you watch the world through the blinds in your room
feeling burned out on the city
how was your life in the cage, though?

i’m too old not to know what’s going on
ah baby, nothing’s easy, but where you belong
is back in the alphabet city
take me back to the alphabet city
because these people are crazy here
these people are crazy, (alphabet city)
you feel so sure your kindred is waiting there

your still too young and can’t fly too close to the sun
uh oh
no body told you now
no one will miss you at all
no one will notice we’re gone

if you love someone in the city, there’s always risk of flight
if you love someone in the country, better lock your doors up tight
but i don’t care about the traffic, don’t care about the crime
i just wanna live someplace where the godd-mn train run on time
and i don’t got no delusions
and i got no flag to fly
i’ve just been hoping that you wanna stay by me

when you tell me that your terrified
of these country people at night

you watch the world through the blinds in your room
the city glares back through the distance
in all its gilded light

you say, ‘i’m too old not to know what’s going on’
baby come and take me
take me on

to the alphabet city
take me back to the alphabet city
these people are crazy here
these people are crazy
and you feel so sure
your kindred is waiting for you there–

your still too young and can’t fly too close to the sun
uh oh
no body told you now
no one will miss you at all
no one will notice we’re gone
