Vanity strikes Humility speaks Insanity lives on the edge of the streets This is a story, it happens every day Politicians kiss my ass Your promises they break like glass Royalty looks down Me, I want to kiss the ground Twenty-two stops to the city Twenty-two stops to the city Twenty-two stops to the city Twenty-two stops Freezin' cold no time to weep Boardwalk's dead on a midnight creep It's colder than a polar bear But I don't care Coney Island winter Coney Island winter Woman walks down the street Tears come rollin' down her face Frozen on her cheeks Steeplechase, no time to waste Heaven blessed, heaven sent Hark the angels, can't pay the rent Jobs are gone, they came and went All the money has been spent All the games are broken down Rust is fallin' to the ground They say they're going to fix this town Straight from City Hall Coney Island winter Coney Island winter Last stop off for the Iron Horse Ride shuts down on a winter course Round and round, round and round On the Ferris Wheel comes to a stop Standin' on Mermaid and Surf Shutters have been shut Colder than a knife that cut Streets of summer Coney Island strut I'm on a mission of my own Don't wanna die on stage With a microphone in my hand Coney Island winter Coney Island winter Coney Island winter Coney Island winter
