No hand writing on the wall
Just the voice that's in us all~

~Down in Bronxy-Bronx the kids go
Sledding down snow-covered slopes
And frozen noses, frozen toes
And frozen city starts to glow
And yes, they know that it'll melt
And yes, they know New York will thaw
But if you are a friend of any sort
Then play along and catch a cold!~

Streetlight people
Livin' just to find emotion
Hidin' somewhere in the night~

~Some dance to remember

Some dance to forget~

~I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn't be alone~

~But I am not lost, I am not found 
I am not Dylan’s wife, not Cohen’s hound~

And I have been wrong, I have been right 
I have been both these things all in the same night .

 ~Oh please believe me I'm more scared than not
That oh now this isn't the way
And please be there I can barely hang on
But oh I wait til I break~

~And there’s fantasy, there’s fallacy, there’s tumbling stone.
Echoes of a city that’s long overgrown.~

~Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable~

~If you fall pick yourself up off the floor (get up)
And when your bones can't take no more (c'mon)
Just remember what you're here for
Cuz I know Imma damn sure~

~Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts~

~believe that the sun will shine tommorrow~

~

i know that diamonds mean money for this art

but that's not the shape of my heart~

~And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next~

~i don't know how i'll feel~

~I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last

Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
Still there's a light I hold before me.

the measure of my dreams~

~Then why can't I sleep at night
And why don't the moon look right
The sound's off but the TV's on
And it's a great big world~

~And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly~

~So remember when we were driving driving in your car
Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk

City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder

And I had a feeling that I belonged

I had a feeling I could be someone.

I got no plans I ain't going nowhere

So take your fast car and keep on driving~

dream until your dreams come true
