Adolphson & Falk - Fifth Avenue Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A promised phone call home to
  • A Minnesota mining town
  • From a tired hungry kid
  • Whom the Greyhound just let down
  • On the January snow in his canvas tennis shoes
  • The kid just took his first walk
  • down the great Fifth Avenue
  • With a guitar on his shoulder
  • And a pocket full of songs
  • He's here to make his debut
  • He's here to right some wrongs
  • But he's a bit short on references
  • His future's hanging loose
  • Just another midnight cowboy
  • on the great Fifth Avenue
  • And in some noisy uptown night club
  • Or in a Bleeker Street cafe
  • With sweaty hands and shaky knees
  • He takes the stage
  • It ain't no friendly city
  • If you haven't got the bread
  • Cause those who have ain't sharing
  • With those who wish they had
  • Sleeping out in subways
  • Keeping warm on cheap booze
  • Living with the high and mighty
  • On the great Fifth Avenue
  • And in some noisy uptown night club
  • Or in a Bleeker Street cafe
  • With sweaty hands and shaky knees
  • He takes the stage
  • In a well guarded beach-house
  • On the California shore
  • A man lives with his loneliness
  • And the songs he writes no more
  • Not real sure where he came from
  • And no place to go to
  • Just some hazy memories
  • Of the great Fifth Avenue
  • [The Swedish version is more or less a description of the Fifth Avenue - the
  • chorus can be translated as "I take a taxi from Harlem / down to the
  • Washington Square / five miles reflecting / a whole world
