Well, the midnight's on Manhattan 11th street and all alone Countin' cracks beneath my feet 'Cause my head is hanging low And the street lights all down Be shining on the falling rain Shadows dance across the street Wind seems to whisper her name
But in 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 got nobody to love
But it's more and more these days I find I need a place to hide And it's easy to get away When you're down on the lower east side Yeah, it's easy to get away When you're down on the lower east side
