about

the pandemic is upon us. and i'm remembering friends, here and gone,
and seeing ambulances on Woodbine Street.

lyrics

from rooms where no one knew me
Fastback and Russel took me
in cars and trains to to show me
electric bands that played with me
like helping hands that touched me
and Carl came and kissed me
and Carl came and kissed me

a window looks out on the night
moon light in a purple sky
an ambulance and a flashing light
a flashing light

waiting for the end of time
time stands still in the meantime
make a new song, sing an old song
every day a new disaster
waiting for the end of time
time stands still in the meantime
make a new song, sing an old song
every day a new disaster

Winter in New York was cold
in Harlem wisdom was old
welfare and work was what i meant
when i said music and food and rent
electric bands played for me
like helping hands, touched me
and the Brooklyn Music scene
and the Brooklyn Music scene

a window looks out on the night
moon light in a purple sky
an ambulance and a flashing light
a flashing light

waiting for the end of time
time stands still in the meantime
make a new song, sing an old song
every day a new disaster
waiting for the end of winter
time stands still in the meantime
make a new song, sing an old song
every day a new disaster
