New Amsterdam (But The Same Old Street)

New Amsterdam
But the same old street
Ain’t got a phone, ain’t got no friend to meet
Taxi is late
Again I’ve lost my keys
Your curtain’s at eight
And I have missed a few of these

Holland tunnel, Lincoln tunnel, George Washington bridge
Manhattan, tribourough, midtown, Williamsburg

Take the next A train
To Jamaica Bay
Take it back to Harlem, go the other way
B train from Flatbush
And back to the Bronx
If you’re going to Midtown
Take whatever you want

C train to Penn Station
D train to Coney Island, but not Riverside
C train to Penn Station
D train to Coney Island

A bottle of water
And a note pinned to my shirt
A couple of coins, and some tokens
In my Pocket couldn’t hurt
I’ll never lose my way, but I’ll never get home
I’ll never lose my way, but I’ll never get back home

Harlem River, Hudson River, East River
Hell Gate, to Flushing Bay
Rockaway, Ozone Park, La Guardia, JFK
