Lower East Side

Well, the midnight's on Manhattan 11th street and all alone
Countin' cracks beneath my feet
'Cause my head is hanging low
And the street lights all down
Be shining on the falling rain
Shadows dance across the street
Wind seems to whisper her name

But in this tired old town
Another sleepless night
Keep me wandering around down
On the lower east side

So lay a star up in heaven
Shining down from up above
And the city is unforgiving
When you got nobody to love

But it's more and more these days
I find I need a place to hide
And it's easy to get away
When you're down on the lower east side
Yeah, it's easy to get away
When you're down on the lower east side
