Stroll to the cafe

My god how time fles

And I close up my brain

And another friend dies

And me I'm just the same



Soaking up Broadway

Nightlife in Detroit

And I'd buy these New York ladies

If these light weren't so bright

And me I wasn't there



Stagger down main street

A knife in my side

I fall to the gutter

In tears but with pride

And me I'm feeling O.K.



Moving out of Central

This villain (??) knows me well

Says he'll spill the whole story

He might be lying, I can't tell

And me I'm not that kind



I've been searching for my shadow in vain

How can I be still while my lifeline remains

With him



Try to steal a needle

Bring peace to my head

And I'm stumbling down the alleys

I find killers instead

And me I'm the cause of it all



Street corner women

Are taking their toll

Now they look at me, I'm dying

And I'm growing old

And me I'm loving it all
