There was a shaking on the ground

We were hiding from the rain
                           G
We were riding on the train

The city keeps on going on
 
 
Float down the river with my Matty D and Jay
 
Get off the boat and board a plane to JFK and I
 
Haven't slept in a week
 
But it don't seem to matter to the subway squeakers squeaking at my feet
 
The city keeps on going
 
We just keep on rolling
 
The city keeps on going
 
We just keep on rolling on
 
Grand Central Station got a windy coming down
 
Independence yesterday, ain't no one around
 
Oh I still recognize her after all these years
 
She still looks the same
 
Oh she still looks the same
 
(chorus)
 
 
When we left Brooklyn it was raining so hard
 
Come up on 8th and the rain it cleared off
 
We're just people watching on 3rd and St. Mark's
 
Wendy girl just kissing my face, my face
 
She was just kissing my face
 
(chorus x2)
 
Just when I was sick and down
 
There was a shaking on the ground
 
We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train
 
Just when I was sinking down
 
There was a shaking on the ground
 
We were hiding from the rain, we were riding on the train
 
She was dancing on the midway
 
Just kissing my face
 
She was dancing on the midway
 


Just waving goodbye
