On the banks of the My love and I lay above 42nd Street While the rain was down
When I covered her kisses The sparks lit up her We made like mad angels While the trucks rolled by
She said, "Don't you ever me Oh, for god don't let me down" So I her all kinds of promises how I'd always be around
But the was rippin' through my head I'd one thing on my mind So my love on 42nd street If I get out of here, I'm gonna die
On the of the Hudson My and I lay down Just one midnight left to kill Then I'm outta New York
I feel the ice man closin' in I almost smell his gun But 20 grand I beat him out of Would help me start back home
And she said, "Don't you ever me Oh, for god sake let me down Then I about what they'd do to her When they found out I'd town
But the fire was racin' through my I'd only one thing on my So goodbye my love on 42nd If I don't get out of here, I'm die
Don't say I should stayed with her You don't know the full story the girl I used her just as much as she used me But sometimes you just get out of New York City
On the banks of the My love and I lay Just 42nd street the rain was pouring down
When I covered her with The sparks lit up her We love like mad angels While the Jersey rolled by
And she said, "Don't you ever me Oh, for god sake let me down" But how could I take A black girl back to town
Just then the streets of fire to blood A Cadillac cruised by And as I raced up 42nd The ice man shouted, "Hey Paddy, time to die"
It's to It's to time to ...
