Central Park Blues

Drop me off at 66, emerging from the wilderness
 The feel of freedom overwhelmed me
 I wandered lonely, looking up
 Thinking of the space that I took up
 In my relationship with all apparent dimensions
 I cut across the Central Park, 45 hours of light and dark
 I had to make the most of them and
 The problem's just like in the films with frozen
 Given in a glaze of haze of snow and smog and my bad eyesight so
 I killed an hour by going to see John Lennon's house
 And where he got away from me and you and nothing's real
 I took a cab from west to east and men did wrong
 I walked and slipped and slide across the ice and feel the trees then
 I bumped into a girl I knew, wearing black and singing songs
 We both knew were about me and a deeper found regret
 The time is wrong, I'd set it fast,
 She said she knew I left her up in Harlem after crushing cigarettes
 OK
 I want to be alone with you
 
 I want to do the things you do
 You always do
 Feeling deeply shaken and then breaking my own rule
 I went into a tiki bar on 1st Avenue
 Writing in a notebook and being very English
 I attracted the attentions of a real couple
 They asked me if I'd join them to society engagements
 So I answered that I would and then we split
 They lived around the corner,
 I heard something about a dress and plastic costumes and then something about a Duchess
 The shop was such a trip, I spent an hour flipping taxis
 Got big shout with a man called Captain Bodybag
 OK
 I want to be alone with you
 
 I want to do the things you do
 You always do
 Comedians, comedians, comedians, comedians
 Comedians try and making me laugh
 But I've never been to see one
 And I don't think that I will again
 I'd rather drink or dance and try and laugh
 Taking in another bar and feeling very fragile
 I had visions in the house from Eyes Wide Shut
 But like a lost bike penny in a city where there's many
 We met up and sang and talked about the fugs so
 I figured I was in and we'd move on and we'd take on the Bowery
 Many close collisions, we got a cab
 We drove into the darkness, New York City in the distance
 I bet ghosts had started peeling back the layers
 OK
 I want to be alone with you
 ♪
 I want to do the things you do
 You always do
 Sank into the seat and felt the fabric tried to eat
 My body and my head and seem that I'd been schooled
 And then, I thought whatever
 That I'd I had a healthy inning
 I just lied there thinking to myself it looked cool so
 I wish I had the nerve, I said I wish I had the nerve
 To shake this ambient 'n appreciate this bridge but
 Peace on you I said
 I hope you get some when you're dead
 And you just sand said it is what it is
 I want to be alone with you
 
 I want to do the things you do
 You always do
