Letra
0:34I was grinding through my day gig
0:39Stackin' cutouts at the strand
0:43When in walks franny from nyu
0:47We were quite an item back then
0:52We talked about her films and shows and cds
0:57And I don't know what else
1:00She said yeah hollywood's been good to me
1:04But tell me - how about yourself
1:08I'm still working on that novel
1:11But I'm just about to quit
1:13'Cause I'm worrying about the future now
1:15Or maybe this is it
1:17It's not all that I thought it would be
1:21What a shame about me
1:30She said talk to me do you ever see
1:34Anybody else from our old crew
1:38Bobby dakine won the bunsen prize
1:42Now he's coming out with something new
1:47Alan owns a chain of steamer heavens
1:51And barry is the software king
1:55And somebody told me in the early 80's
2:00You were gonna be the next big thing
2:03Well now that was just a rumor
2:06But I guess I'm doin' fine
2:08Three weeks out of the rehab
2:10Living one day at a time
2:12Sneaking up on the new century
2:16What a shame about me
2:24What a shame about me
2:28I'm thinking of a major jane street sunrise
2:34And the goddess on the fire escape was you
2:59We both ran out of small talk
3:03The connection seemed to go dead
3:07I was about to say hey have a nice life
3:12When she touched my hand and said:
3:15You know I just had this great idea
3:21This could be very cool
3:24Why don't we grab a cab to my hotel
3:28And make believe we're back at our old school
3:32I said babe you look delicious
3:35And you're standing very close
3:37But like this is lower broadway
3:39And you're talking to a ghost
3:41Take a good look it's easy to see
3:45What a shame about me
3:50What a shame about me
3:54A shame
4:02A shame about me
4:11A shame
4:19A shame about me
4:28A shame
4:36A shame about me
4:45A shame
4:53A shame about me
