lyrics

The restaurants are closing up now on Amsterdam Avenue
A tired road in a tired town renames to tenth avenue
The taxi cabs pull to the kerb and fade into the night
Bus Boy sweeps cement with dirty aprons covered in people's lives

Fire Escapes outta Christmas Sun showering blinking blue
Dragging bodies for too long, no one can get through
The streets, wraps around my mind, and finds it's way to you
Dreams come cheap, on Amsterdam..Avenue....
Avenue......Avenue....Avenue.

The restaurants are closing up now on Amsterdam Avenue
A tired road in a tired city renamed tenth avenue.
The restaurants are closing up now on Amsterdam Avenue
A tired road in a tired city renamed to tenth avenue.
