My heart beats like an ant crossing a speaker
In an a and b affair
I barely reach the other side
Waiting the L train takes so long
The brain can´t process coming home
After an evening nine to five
No keys to gramercy as the daylight
And the night meet up for drinks
And I can´t remember names
My head rings like it´s currency and every passerby I greet replies
"Can you spare a little change?"
When I´m old, I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I´m told
When you leave, I´ll close the door
But there´s no question I´ll remember
Our growing old together
Pass Tomkins Square and when you get there
They´ll say these are in demand
So I opened up my hand
And when I untie my eyes I saw an empire
Spreading out a sleepy mile
Heading out to Ellis isle
So zip it up, zip it up, if you´re standing on the subway
Sitting down, sitting down, watch your seat
If you´d like, ride a bike, it´s better for the city
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels
When I´m old (when I´m old)
I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I´m told when you leave
When I´m old (when I´m old)
I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I´m told
When you leave, I´ll close the door
But there´s no question I´ll remember
Our growing old together
Zip it up, zip it up, if you´re standing on the subway
Sitting down, sitting down, watch your seat
If you´d like, ride a bike, it´s better for the city
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels
Zip it up, zip it up,
If you´re standing on the subway (take me downtown)
Sitting down, sitting down, watch you seat (bring me to life)
If you´d like, ride a bike,
It´s better for the city (and when you´re down)
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels (there will be life)
Take me downtown
Bring me to life
And when you´re down
There will be life
