138th Street

I hear that you got yourself a house And all your friends you finally figured out But you go out in the night til you got no place to go I see you on the corner where you're trying to use the phone And everyone will say you missed your chance And everyone will say you've lost you're edge But it's just something that you've heard about a thousand time before And every time you're falling then you'll see me on the floor And someday when you turn around You'll take a wife, and start a life It won't be long I hear that you got yourself a job And all your friends you finally nailed down But you go out in the night till you got no place to go Something you ain't doing right is haunting you at home Now we've been hanging round for quite a while So let's get out of here and take a drive On the parkway tonight You can hear the engines roar The flashing lights will nab you when you're driving your way home And someday when you turn around you'll see the door is closing
