Joe Jung: Music

Tripping 'Round the Town

Let me take you to New York it's a sight you've got to see
Call it Gotham or New Amsterdam or a place that gets no sleep
So grab a slice, it's always nice to join the mice flying underground
Where anything can happen when the sun goes down

The museums, you gotta see 'em and the theater shows at night
All the rock stars with guitars and bums who bum you for a light
We'll get our fix at Big Nick's, they've got patties by the pound
You can get most anything you want when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down and the lights come alive
You can dance all night at some east side dive
You'll sink and you'll spin as it pulls you in
And you'll leave your world behind

They've got pretty girls with shiny boots and fingernails
Leaving scratchmarks on the turnstiles as they bolt for Union Square
To meet some guy who hides away his corporate frown
Cause everybody gets some when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down and the lights come alive
You can wail all night at some Bear Bar dive (not anymore)
You'll sink, twist, spin as it pulls you in
And you'll leave your world behind

You shot the freak and seen the seaport after dark
Heard the thumping in the clubs, been rollerdancing in the park
And you know when you leave you'll wish you could turn around
For one last morsel of the city when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down and the lights come alive
You can wail all night at some Waltz-Astoria New York dive
You'll sink, twist, spin as it pulls you in
And you'll leave your world behind

When the sun goes down, when the sun goes down
When the sun goes down, goes down
It'll blow your mind, it's no waste of time
In the evening when the sun goes down
