Lyrics

Fire Escape

New York now was nothing but an ice-capade

A cigarette, a fire-escape

Walked this line

With dust in our pockets for the Bedford station line to take us

Crazy

The drunkard playing the Casio

We're quiet

Every time we start starin' up

And hear

All the loneliest crickets play their violins

Oh, what a shame

A subway ride was never meant to last
