The city keeps on going on


Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay

Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I

Haven't slept in a week

But it don't seem to matter to the subway squeakers squeaking at my feet

The city keeps on going

We just keep on rolling

The city keeps on going

We just keep on rolling on



Grand Central Station got a windy coming down

Independence yesterday, ain't no one around

Oh I still recognize her after all these years 

She still looks the same

Oh she still looks the same

(chorus)




When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard

Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off

We're just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark's

Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face

She was just kissing my face

(chorus x2)



Just when I was sick and down

There was a shaking on the ground

We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train

Just when I was sinking down

There was a shaking on the ground

We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train

She was dancing on the midway

Just kissing my face

She was dancing on the midway

...

Just waving goodbye
