Bruce Springsteen - New York City Serenade lyrics

Billy, he's down by the railroad tracks, sittin' low in the back seat of his cadillac,<br>Diamond jackie, she's so intact, she falls so softly beneath him,<br>Jackie's heels are stacked, billy's got cleats on his boots,<br>Together they're gonna boogaloo down broadway and come back home with the<br>Loot,<br>It's midnight in manhattan, this is no time to get cute, it's a mad dog's promenade,<br>So walk tall, or baby don't walk at all.<br><br>Fish lady, fish lady, fish lady she baits them tenement walls,<br>She won't take cornerboys, ain't got no money, and they're so easy,<br>I said, hey baby won't you take my hand, walk me down broadway,<br>I'm a young man and I talk real loud, yeah, baby walk real proud for you.<br>So shake it away, so shake away your street life, shake away your city life,<br>And hook up to the train, hook up to the night train, hook it up hook up to the, hook up to the train,<br>But I know that she won't take the train, no she won't take the train,<br>No she won't take the train, no she won't take the train<br>She's afraid them tracks are gonna slow her down,<br>And when she turns this boy'll be gone<br>So long, sometimes you just gotta walk on.<br><br>Hey vibes man, hey jazz man play me your serenade<br>Any deeper blue and you're playin' in your grave<br>Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the blues boy,<br>Save your notes, don't spend 'em on the darlin' yearlin' sharp boy,<br>Straight for the church note ringin', vibes man sting a trash can<br>Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,<br>Listen to your junk man, listen to your junk man,<br>He's singin', singin', singin', singin'.<br>All dressed up in satin, walkin' past the alley.<br>Watch out for you junk man, watch out for your junk man,<br>Watch out for your junk man.
