Downtown Babylon

I’m cruising downtown
With these brand new shoes on
Higher than the buildings
Black music in the background
I say hello to Johnny and the guys up there
He said: “Man, you look tense, are you going somewhere?”
And though she must be waiting
I stop on a wall to lean on
Grow myself a palm tree
And I try my best to calm down
I ain’t saying I’m nervous
But, I’m kind of lost
It’s been four weeks without it
Man, I almost forgot

My legs are shaking ten times more
I hope I won’t collapse when she opens up the door

She talks about her lifestyle
How she made it to the movies
Her travels in France
And her voice is like a cool breeze
I can’t help but think about this other girl I knew
She was nice and gentle
So what am I supposed to do

My heart is beating ten times more
I hope I won’t collapse when she opens up the door
