Times Square

In a tired part of the city

Hiding from the fast talk

Watch 'Don't walk' to 'Walk'

Easy when you're dreaming

Staring at the movies

Standing in a circle,

Laughing at the wrong time.

If alcohol could take me there.

I'd take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV.

In a car taking a back seat

Staring out the window

Thinking about danger.

Playing in a wrong world

Fighting — but I'm not free.

Talking on the telephone

Talking about you and me.

If Jesus Christ could take me here

I'd fall dawn on my knees,

Have no questions to His answers.

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV.

Alcohol could take me there.

I'd take a shot a minute

And be there by the hour.

Take a walk around Times Square

With a pistol in my suitcase

And my eyes on the TV.

And if I die gaining my senses

Wake up in a hotel

Staring at the ceiling.
