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