New York City Serenade
(专辑: The Wild, The Innocent And The E Street Shuffle - 1973)
Billy, he's down by the
railroad tracks Sitting low in the
back seat of his Cadillac Diamond Jackie, she's so intact She falls so softly beneath him Jackie's heels are stacked, Billy's got cleats on his boots Together they're gonna boogaloo down Broadway and come back home with the
loot It's midnight in Manhattan, this is no time to get cute It's a
mad dog's promenade So walk tall, or baby, don't walk at all Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady, she baits them tenement walls She won't take corner boys, ain't got no money and they're so easy I
said, "Hey baby, won't you take my hand, walk me down Broadway I'm a
young man and I
talk real loud, yeah baby, walk real proud for you So shake it away, so shake away your street life And hook up to the
train Hook up to the
night train Hook it up, hook up to the, hook up to the
train" But I
know that she won't take the
train No, she won't take the
train No, she won't take the
train No, she won't take the
train She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down And when she turns, this boy'll be gone So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on Hey vibes man, hey jazz man, play me your serenade Any deeper blue and you're playing in your grave Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the
blues boy Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the
darling yearling sharp boy Straight for the
church note ringing, vibes man sting a
trash can Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man Listen to your junk man He's singing, singing, singing, singing All dressed up in satin, walking past the
alley Watch out for your junk man Watch out for your junk man Watch out for your junk man
