0:10Uptown the street's in a calming way
0:14And outside is warm as a bed with a maid
0:18And I find it's all our waves and raves
0:23That makes the days go on this way
1:12I heard the sad sound of words
1:17Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird
1:21Uptown the streets are kept afloat
1:26Are girl never leaves me alone
2:22He means well saying
2:25I've got stories of wine superb
2:29And of course my childhood forks and knives
2:33And a hospital bed where
2:36I turned my life over and over again
Uptown the street's in a calming way And outside is warm as a bed with a maid And I find it's all our waves and raves That makes the days go on this way I heard the sad sound of words Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird Uptown the streets are kept afloat Are girl never leaves me alone He means well saying I've got stories of wine superb And of course my childhood forks and knives And a hospital bed where I turned my life over and over again
