In a tired part of the city   Hiding from the fast talk   Watch 'don't walk' to 'walk'   Easy when you're dreaming   Staring at the movies   Standing in a circle,   Laughing at the wrong time.      If alcohol could take me there.   I'd take a shot a minute   And be there by the hour.      Take a walk around times square   With a pistol in my suitcase   And my eyes on the tv.      In a car taking a back seat   Staring out the window   Thinking about danger.   Playing in a wrong world   Fighting ¡º but I'm not free.   Talking on the telephone   Talking about you and me.      If jesus christ could take me here   I'd fall dawn on my knees,   Have no questions to his answers.      Take a walk around times square   With a pistol in my suitcase   And my eyes on the tv.      Alcohol could take me there.   I'd take a shot a minute   And be there by the hour.      Take a walk around times square   With a pistol in my suitcase   And my eyes on the tv.      And if I die gaining my senses   Wake up in a hotel   Staring at the ceiling.
