New Lots Avenue (Life)

lyrics

Verse 1
In the subway
and the train speeds off
see the streaked up painting of the platform art
with young folks kissing
and old folks staring
business men
briefcase carried
in the subway
as the train speeds off
see the streaked up painting of the platform art
oh mom and baby
barely 18
wondering how she's gonna feed him tonight

Hook
And that's life
Oh life
Like a smeared up painting
of the people zooming by
and I cry
I cry
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I

Verse 2
In the subway
and the train speeds off
see the streaked up painting of the platform art
with one man laughing
and one man crying
neither one knows
what he's missing
in the subway
as the train speeds off
see the streaked up painting of the platform art
the children pointing
at the old vet begging
wall street gent
impatiently waiting

Hook
And that's life
Oh life
Like a smeared up painting
of the people zooming by
and I cry
I cry
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I

Bridge
Cuz when I look in the mirror I see that little girl
her eyes filled with tears
cuz her dreams look like a blur
cuz this old world
is crazy
is crazy!

Hook (out)
And that's life
Oh life
Like a smeared up painting
of the people zooming by
and I cry
I cry
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I
You and I
You and I
You and I
You and I
cuz the smeared up painting
is the portrait framing of I
