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
