I have to come and see you--

Maybe once or twice a year--

I think nothing would suit me better

(Right now)

Than some downtown atmosphere ...

In the dance halls and the galleries

Or betting in the OTB

Synchronized--like magic

Good friends you and me



The sun goes down in Jersey

Rises over Little Italy--

We could talk it up 'til the block gets up

Swapping stories

Sitting around in some all night zoo

Watching it run like a movie

Synchronized--like magic

Good friends you and me



No hearts of gold

No nerves of steel

No blame for what we can and cannot feel



But now it's cloak and dagger

Walk on eggshells and analyze

Every particle of difference

Gets like mountains in our eyes

You say, "You're unscrupulous!"

You say, "You're naive!"

Synchronized--like magic

Good friends you and me



No hearts of gold

No nerves of steel

No blame for what we can and cannot feel



Sometimes change comes at you

Like a broadside accident

There is chaos to the order

Random things you can't prevent

There could be trouble around the corner

There could be beauty down the street

Synchronized--like magic

Good friends you and me



No hearts of gold

No nerves of steel

No blame for what we can and cannot feel

No nerves of steel

No hearts of gold

No blame for what we can and can't control



Good friends you and me

Good friends you and me
