Bilingual
My heart beats like an ant crossing a speaker
In an a and b affair
I barely reach the other side
Waiting the L train takes so long
The brain can ฬt process coming home
After an evening nine to five
No keys to gramercy as the daylight
And the night meet up for drinks
And I can ฬt remember names
My head rings like it ฬs currency and every passerby I greet replies
"Can you spare a little change?"
When I ฬm old, I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I ฬm told
When you leave, I ฬll close the door
But there ฬs no question I ฬll remember
Our growing old together
Pass Tomkins Square and when you get there
They ฬll say these are in demand
So I opened up my hand
And when I untie my eyes I saw an empire
Spreading out a sleepy mile
Heading out to Ellis isle
So zip it up, zip it up, if you ฬre standing on the subway
Sitting down, sitting down, watch your seat
If you ฬd like, ride a bike, it ฬs better for the city
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels
When I ฬm old (when I ฬm old)
I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I ฬm told when you leave
When I ฬm old (when I ฬm old)
I hope your old
So we can grow so old together
We can stay so young I ฬm told
When you leave, I ฬll close the door
But there ฬs no question I ฬll remember
Our growing old together
Zip it up, zip it up, if you ฬre standing on the subway
Sitting down, sitting down, watch your seat
If you ฬd like, ride a bike, it ฬs better for the city
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels
Zip it up, zip it up,
if you ฬre standing on the subway (take me downtown)
Sitting down, sitting down, watch you seat (bring me to life)
If you ฬd like, ride a bike,
it ฬs better for the city (and when you ฬre down)
Spinning wheels, spinning wheels, spinning wheels (there will be life)
Take me downtown
Bring me to life
And when you ฬre down
There will be life
