A cold and lonely in an old New York hotel A stranger to a city that she to know so well Bathing in a bathroom that is in the first blue light Of the beginning of a at the end of an endless night
Then she is wet behind the ears and wafting down the hour, post-rain shower Stillness seeping upwards steam From another molten sewer in New York

Reverted, and contorted no way to get free And getting plenty of little kisses But nobody's her the key

Or maybe she's 30 now It's to say It's hard to keep up with time once on its way
And, you know, she had much of a chance Born a family built like an avalanche And somewhere in the between the Oat Bran and the Ozone She to figure out things like why
One eye pointed upwards for the holes in the sky One eye on the little flashing red A Picasso twisted and listing down the canvas Of the end of an night
