There's diamonds in the avenueAs the dayshift turns to nightIn the Empire dinner dreamingHard rain, fluorescent lightsAs the waitress fills my coffee cupAnd the working girls go byDrenched Irish Cops are dreaming sexAnd peep show alibisEverything underneath the skylineFrom the east side to the westI see the miracles in real timeAnd there's one I've loved the bestSee there's an angel on the D trainAs she's flying to my worldAnd I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girlTimes Square looks like AvalonIn a Disney morphine dreamDylan Thomas rides a white horse drunkAt the counter next to meI wake up in the bed sometimesAnd watch her as she sleepsIn the silence and the sirensI pray her soul to keepSongtexteChorusThe catherine wheel burns bright tonightDown on the avenueBut nowhere near as bright, my loveAs the fire that burns for youEverything underneath the skylineFrom the east side to the westOf the lives I've lived and those I've knownThere is one I've loved the bestSee there's an angel on the C trainAs she's flying to my worldAnd I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girlAnd I'm waiting for a N.Y.C. girl Aus Songtexte Mania
