歌词
I was baptized by Levi in a second floor sink
Tremblin' and badly in need of a drink
The henchmen were gathered below, they were in need for blood, yeah
I slipped out the back door to see where the alleyway led
I was seventy, sober and losin' my mind
Turned to a stranger who seemed to be kind
She led me to heaven but left me on the front doorstep
My knees on the pavement, my aching head filled with regret
All the drugs done on me (ooh)
Broadway, they sing out this song
The lights are long (ooh), Christopher, guide me along
I turn right on Amsterdam (ooh), even though everything's wrong
Mama, everything's wrong
She greeted me sadly, then asked me my game
A five dollar whore with a ten dollar name
Thirteen nights later, she still hadn't charged me for nothing
We traded our shoes for guitars and we started to sing
Oh, the drugs down on Broadway (ooh), they sing out their song
The lights are on (ooh), Christopher, guide me along
I turned right on down today (ooh), even though everything's wrong
Mama, everything's wrong
Yeah, yeah
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh
I fell back alone on a gray Sunday morn'
The jeans on my backside were tattered and torn
I stumbled along till I stood by the Black Hudson River
The wind it blew cold as my soul finally started to stir
The folks drifts down on Broadway (ooh), they sing out his song
The lights of Long Christa will guide me along (ooh)
I turned right on Amsterdam (ooh), even though everything's wrong
Hell, the absolute sky in blue feathery wings (ooh)
Lifted me high above everything (ooh)
The same way I knew I had nothing to say (ooh, ooh, ooh)
I had nothing to say (ooh, ooh), yeah, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, yeah
