Well the midnight's on Manhattan 11th street and all alone Countin' cracks beneath my feat 'cause my head is hanging low And the street lights all down b shining on the falling rain Shadows dance across the street Wind seems to whisper her name But it's this tired old town another sleepless night Keep me wandering around down on the lower east side So lay a star up in heaven shining down from up above And the city is unforgiving when you've got no one to love But i'ts more and more these days I find I need a place to hide And it's easy to get away when your down on the lower east side Yeah it's easy to get away when your down on the lower east side
