Gimme Some Slack - The Cars

i want to shake like Liguardia

magic mouth in the sun

train ride to the courtyard

before you can run

down at the end of lonely street

where no one takes a walk

someone’s lying at your feet

and someone’s getting off

just gimme some slack

the seven floors of walkup

the odor musted cracks

the peeping keyhole introverts

with the monkeys on their backs

the rooftops strung with frauleins

the pastel pinned up sails

the eighteen color roses

against your face so pale

i want to float like Euripides

all visions intact

i’m alright with Fellini fiends

tripping over the track

down at the end of Lonely Street

where no one takes a chance

someone’s in the cheap light

and someone wants to dance
