Me and Lars down on 6th street
he knew that I was in trouble
Feeling much like the devil
Something burnin' inside of me

Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the funhouse
Where we played a lonely pinball machine

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass by but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well, I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia

I'm having a hard time understanding
It gets all too demanding
she's all gone and I'm stranded
Something burning deep inside of me

All I know it's 4 o'clock and
She ain't never showed up and
I watched a thousand come home from work

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass by but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well, I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia

How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy
Before I lose everything
Something burning deep inside

Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took me to the funhouse
I don't wanna be alone again

Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars pass by but none of 'em seem to go my way
New York City, well, I wish I was on a highway
Back to Olympia
