lyrics

Red Beats pumping Tchaikovsky
Sunday morning Herald Square
Strangers shuffling past me
I’m there but I’m not there

Twilight capitalism
Such a sleek and cold affair
Marcy’s making eyes at me
With demure resolve to spare

You were my perfect blue raincoat
You made the weather dissolve
You taught me a taste for transcendence
You gave me a puzzle to solve

This is just to say I’m sorry
For the plums and so many other things
I was young and foolish
As overwrought as these strings

Lifting me out of this moment
Bernstein with the New York Phil
Anguish frozen like the Hudson
December day gray and still

You kissed me in the archway
You set my heart on fire
Red and orange clouds billowed
Golden plumes of desire

Red Beats pumping Tchaikovsky
Sunday morning Herald Square
Strangers shuffling past me
I’m there but I’m not there
