Bruce Springsteen - New York City Serenade Lyrics
Billy, hes down by the railroad tracks, sittin low in the back seat of his cadillac,Diamond jackie, shes so intact, she falls so softly beneath him,Jackies heels are stacked, billys got cleats on his boots,Together theyre gonna boogaloo down broadway and come back home with theLoot,Its midnight in manhattan, this is no time to get cute, its a mad dogs promenade,So walk tall, or baby dont walk at all.Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls,She wont take cornerboys, aint got no money, and theyre so easy,I said, hey baby wont you take my hand, walk me down broadway,Im 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, shake away your city 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 wont take the train, no she wont take the train,No she wont take the train, no she wont take the trainShes afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down,And when she turns this boyll be goneSo long, sometimes you just gotta walk on.Hey vibes man, hey jazz man play me your serenadeAny deeper blue and youre playin in your graveSave your notes, dont spend em on the blues boy,Save your notes, dont spend em on the darlin yearlin sharp boy,Straight for the church note ringin, vibes man sting a trash canListen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,Hes singin, singin, singin, singin.All dressed up in satin, walkin past the alley.Watch out for you junk man, watch out for your junk man,Watch out for your junk man.
