Lyrics

I take the short walk to the No. 6 train
That takes me into the heart of you
I tear from the stairs my token used
The City cries out in a symphony

And they're never gonna find me
As long as I can blend on in
Like a Mad One with his heart on his sleeve
Quotin' Tennyson
If I can just let go of my past
I'll be a man with the ghost of a chance
Just like the prayer that's whispered on BLEECKER ST.

I'm a kite driftin' without a string
The winds of change have taken their hold on me
And all the hope I have written all on my face
Not throwin' diamonds down a drainpipe
Opportunities I let slide

I don't know if they'll find me
At least if I can blend on in
Like a Mad One with his heart on his sleeve
Quoting Tennyson
If I can just get rid of my past
I'll be a man with a ghost of a chance
Just like the prayer that's whispered on BLEECKER ST.

When the night falls and you just can't
Remember your name
And there's whispers in the alleys
In the doorways in the rain
Well it's better to have loved and lost
Than to just fade away

(ah... lost than to fade away)
(ah... lost than to fade away)
