West 4th & 6th Lyrics

We had Mexican beers on a fire escape

Swore that the stars spelled out our names

The a/c was broken

So we slept with the windows open

There were church bells, sirens and car alarms

In three-part harmony right after dawn

We walked down to the diner

Brought a smoke but I lost my lighter

Yeah, sometimes you just gotta get away

To a place where nobody knows your name

Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night

Take your hand and lead you astray

Funny how you feel brand new

Down West 4th and 6th avenue

On the ride into port authority

Got a taxi cab lecture on eternity

He said let go of the burdens and troubles you carry

Cause this life is nothing but temporary

Sometimes you just gotta get away

To a place where nobody knows your name

Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night

Take your hand and lead you astray

Funny how you feel brand new

Down West 4th and 6th avenue

All the glass and the steel make you feel so small

They cut through the sky and remind you it ain’t all

About your problems, your past, the nights you can’t get back

Get on the train, stop fighting the track

Cause sometimes you just gotta get away

To a place where nobody knows your name

Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night

Take your hand and lead you astray

Funny how you feel brand new

Down West 4th and 6th avenue
