THE DOWNTOWN STRUTS LYRICS

"Back To N.Y."

Waking up, shooting dreams, wasting time
Sending cards through telephone wires
Oh but I show up with my compass and my camels
When I stop at the corner to buy you
One of those Mexican candles

But you're out of sight
And I'm out of mind
Out of sight
Out of mind
(I've heard Queensbridge, and I hear Brooklyn
You're far away from home)

Take one look around the city
Someone said that you were back today
But you're back to New York

Standing tall, waiting for the rose of town
I hear that highway sound
I thought I saw the bar up ahead
But then I walked in through the front door
And the fucking bar was dead
And so I wait

Back, back, back to New York
Back, back, back to New York

When will you be back in the Midwest?
