New York, New York temperature's droppin'   The band's out shoppin' not stoppin' till ears pop   Cops protect shops, lotsa yellow cabs and bell hops   An' it never stops   I'm waiting to do an interview, so much to tell you   Today i feel close enough to smell you   Additional date they were planning just fell through   Florida's out, we fly September 22 to Heathrow   So there's not really long to go   Tonight will be a brilliant show lettin' you know   I miss you more than four hits the floor at a party   Send my love to everybody      Honey I'm writing from DC, feelin' quasy   Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy   The T.M. recommend Sanatogen   Not one of them could resist takin' the piss   I miss you like a lock on the door what's more   I go to sleep with my Walkman 'cos half the crew snore   Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great   But there's fifteen of us on a bus state to state   So I stay up late with a tape or meditate   My bed is travellin' at 55 mph   When we make it to L.A. I'll still be miles away   It's not my best day I'm gonna get some rest   God Bless      We just stopped at a diner so I'm takin' time   To write a few lines. I'm fine, sun's shinin'   Bus driver's reclinin' on the grass as the truck's pass   Gleamin' with a flash of sunlight from the glass   On the windscreen. As for us there's too much to relate   We've done five gigs but we're only in our third state   America's big! You'd love how they pile up your plate   Only place in the world even I could gain weight   Our next day is Wilmington, Delaware, open air   There's a rumour Melle Mel'll be there   Anyway, All the best, God bless I'm yawning   I really miss watchin' you get dressed in the morning
