EmGoing east Amwith the wind

EmCross the FDAmR to the east Friver

 Fall rightC in

And if I had a girl on 10th avenue

I know exactly what she would do

She would wander at day look at all the Guys

Find someone who's read more books And has bluer eyes

And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone

9 8 7th avenue

Now I'm crossing Madison

Sobbing on Park Avenue

Feeling bad on Lexington

3 2 1st avenue

Going east with the wind

Cross the FDR to the east river

Fall right in

And if I had a girl on 11th avenue

I know exactly what she would do

She would wander at night hang around At bars

Find someone who draws better and Plays prettier guitar

And then she'd leave me and I'd walk Back east alone

9 8 7th avenue

Now I'm crossing Madison

Sobbing on Park Avenue

Feeling bad on Lexington

3 2 1st avenue

Going east with the wind

Cross the FDR to the east river

Throw myself in

FUntil the scum in the east river would GDrown me

FThe phlegm and rotten rats would GSurround me

FThe shattered cars at the bottom all GAround me

FUntil I was just another scum in the CEast river

FAnd when I become the scum it's myEm Job to drown

FThe pathetic hopes and failures ofEm the Next unloved clown

FThough maybe it would be a girl and We coulEmd become scum together

FDecompose as the river flows

EmBecome one scum together

Become one forever

 One bloated rotten putrid scum Cforever

Now I'm crossing Madison

Sobbing on Park Avenue

Feeling bad on Lexington

3 2 1st avenue

Going east with the wind

Cross the FDR to the east river

Fall right in
