travelled on the F train down   the people press and crowd   and start to fade like footprints worn away   only stop and still i'm waiting   a thousand faces look the same everyone   a thousand different names   they come on two by two   people fade as people do   came here of my own volition   could be my decision   could be   we may still get by   we may still get by      wandered down on avenue A   the coffee shops the sweet cache   of thoughts and words and laughter gone   never ending stream of what you've   known so long and long ignored   don't think so hard just smoke your cigarette   fade off into blue   'cause people fade as people always do      consequence comes crashing in   the scars and scrapes and scratches   all the memories died so long ago   time is up but still i'm waiting   come here of my own volition   could be my decision   could be   we may still get by   we may still get by   we may still get by   we may still get by   we may still get by
