[Verse 1]
I don't measure in vibes but I can describe
The way that I feel without using the word "chill"
Ten types of tattered, maybe twelve, it doesn't matter
I don't count what I can't cope
Shot at and missed, shat at and hit
Please come to New York before you commit
To juicin', to joggin' to callin' poison fog
And drinking stolen water and payin' for it
[Chorus]
I respect you for being the cautious type
But have I shown you my eyeballs lately?
Could you see that I've been hurtin' inside?
[Verse 2]
Sentimental and dull, here's one thing I know
Bridges in the sunset make a lovely silhouette
Dark and sturdy as a cheap cup of coffee
That a thoughtful stranger loaned
With meander in blue, a column or two
And I'm so happy to serve, so glad to please sometimes
It hurts takin' lead so tell me what you need
To call a strange place home
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not ready for
You and I to say goodbye
Do I owe you a damn thing maybe
Or could it be that I've been wasting your time?
If I show you my eyeballs baby
You could see that I've been hurtin' inside
