Me and lars down on 6th street
he knew i was in trouble
i was feeling much like the devil
there was something burnin' deep inside of me
ran into three puerto ricans
these girls took us to the funhouse
where we played a lonely pinball machine

hangin' on the corner
of 52nd and broadway
cars passin' by
but none of them seem to go my way
new york city, i wish i was on a highway
back to olympia

i'm having a hard time understanding
it gets all too demanding
she's all gone and i'm stranded
something burning deep inside of me
all i know it's 4 o clock and
she ain't never showed up and
i watched a thousand people go home from work

hangin on the corner of 52nd and broadway
cars passin by but none of them seem to go my way
new york city, i wish i was on the highway
back to olympia

how many times will it take me
before i go crazy
before i lose everything
something burning deep inside
ran into three puerto ricans
these girls took me to the funhouse
i don't wanna be alone again

hangin on the corner of 52nd and broadway
cars passin by but none of them seem to go my way
new york city, i wish i was on the highway
back to olympia
