I Know You Know

You call me, why do you call me And why do I answer, when I know Oh I know you were crying Why are you crying And how can you say that, when you know Oh you know, that you were the sun giving up behind the golden gate Now you’re the bum begging up and down the lower hate Oh you know, that you were the band going out to play one more song Now you’re the giant out on second ‘cause you thought he was gone I call her, why do I call her And why does she answer, when she knows Oh she knows I was laughing Why am I laughing Oh and how can I say that, when I know Oh I know, that I was a fire-escape party over union square Now I’m a cab driver, fucking over every fare Oh I know, that I was a young Dylan, tossing off the perfect verse Now I’m another damn Yankee, can't toss to first (woo hoo hoo) Lord I can’t toss it to first (woo hoo hoo) Oh I can’t toss it to first Oh we know that we were the band going out to play one more song Now you’re the giant out on second cause you thought he was gone
