Took the ferry took the ferry to the city uh huh
With my guitar
Wrapped up in a garbage bag
Played for hours
Outside The Museum of Art
Got eight dollars
And a Japanese business card
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in to you
Walked around
Somebody tried to sell me a rose
Walked downtown
Somebody tried to sell me
Snow White
I played the old scam
Where I needed a bus ticket
Home
But every tourist
Was someone I scammed before
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in to you
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
So c'mon …
I took the subway took the subway to Brooklyn (uh huh)
Somebody sang Christmas carols
At the top of their lungs
I went to Joe's house
But Joe wasn't answering his door
Left a note
Screaming
I needed to talk to him
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in to you
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
So c'mon …
I hung with Rose
'Til she has to go and turn tricks
We watched a little of
Get Out Your Handkerchiefs
She told me to stay
So I fell asleep on the couch
With the noise from the bar
Coming up below
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in
'Bout to give in to you
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed
We're falling
Oh yes indeed oh yes indeed
So c'mon …
C'mon
