Lyrics
Born On 1 st Ave.
We got off the train, feeling like mugger meat
Pounding on the head of a friend who was joking with my bag
'Smile!' Gordie said with flash as I caught the eye of an old lady laughing
'New York, New York' What a happening
Walking down Park Ave. wide eyed, n' dodging the cabs
You keep your eyes to your self and walk fast
And everything is just so, you don't want to mess with it
And when you think you got it down, you don't
There must be something beautiful
More than just the shape of cement
And there on the sidewalk of 1 st Ave.
A sparrow brought a soul to earth
So Toni had his wedding
And the jazz band was so cool
And everybody talked about the future
Made me wonder 'bout the baby born on 1 st Ave.
Manhattan made me sweat
Manhattan made me sleep
But when the train pulled away across the Hudson
Manhattan made me weep
There must be something beautiful
More than just the shape of cement
And there on the sidewalk of 1 st Ave.
A sparrow brought a soul to earth
