I've lost my mind, my memory, my cause.. It used to be oh so easy to choose these things.. . I've lost my mind, my memory, my cause.. It used to be oh so easy to school these things..
[Chorus:]. These old feelings make you think.. These old feelings make you drink.. These old feelings keep the time ticking away.. . There's always something in my head.
Don't want to wake up in the morning.. Don't want to see my pops.. Don't want to see my mother either,. Cause I got no job.. I know I owe them something,.
Working for the man, trying to make the wages,. Working for the man, selling sophistication.. Working for the girl, trying to stay sane,. When all you wants a ticket on an outbound train..
This city will not sleep tonight.. I hear sirens as I walk down 59th.. I New York City, lost under a gray sky,. I thought I heard my name. Through the sound of the pouring rain..
On a moonless night by a shadowless wall,. I sit and listen to my radio.. And I wonder tonight is it heaven or hell.. . For weeks at a time I'm the good guy life's taught me..
