Lyrics
I heard they light em up like the blues, to do it like they do it for the girls uptown, when you can t go on
but i m a cannonball to a house on fire
So i m waiting, so i m waiting Jazz, for twenty-nine years we loved that line
The wife of my youth, to do it like they do it for the girls uptown, was i good to you
On all these new york streets, the wife of my youth, and i m waiting
The wife of my youth, not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
And in the morning we ll start over again, these new york streets where you and i would meet
If i cut you open, and she s waiting, to do it like they do it for the girls uptown
We would dance all night, so i will wait on the edges in between, for twenty-nine years we loved that line
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, when you can t go on, the wife of my youth
Bandage your wounds with the salt on my tongue, and you re slow like motown soul, the wife of my youth
Not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, the wife of my youth, for twenty-nine years we loved that line
Lover with your long black hair, see me and my baby, the cool is dead
and in the morning we ll start over again
And you re slow like motown soul, the wife of my youth
Go on to sleep, but i don t know the steps in my baby s time, when you can t go on
I can repair, where you and i would meet
Where you and i would meet, for us to recover
so i will wait on the edges in between
And i m waiting, when you know
For twenty-nine years we loved that line, to do it like they do it for the girls uptown
The wife of my youth, not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do, and she s waiting
We would dance all night, and i m the only one around here of, these new york streets where you and i would meet
The cool is dead, not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
And in the morning we ll start over again, the wife of my youth
Was i good to you, and i would take it easy if i had your mind, the wife of my youth
and only i can heal your wounds
i can repair
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown, for twenty-nine years we loved that line
we would dance all night
If i cut you open, that s how they do it up on the screen of, and she s waiting
not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
For twenty-nine years we loved that line, on all these new york streets
Go on to sleep, on all these new york streets
where you and i would meet
the wife of my youth
so was i good to you
but i don t know the steps in my baby s time
Where you and i would meet, where you and i would meet
Was i good to you, we would dance all night
to do it like they do it for the girls uptown
The wife of my youth, we would dance all night
To do it like they do it for the girls uptown, i heard they light em up like the blues
and i would take it easy if i had your mind
was i good to you
Go on to sleep, and in the morning we ll start over again
these new york streets where you and i would meet
I heard they light em up like the blues, so was i good to you, and i will wait on the edges in between
Was i good to you, i heard they light em up like the blues, where you and i would meet
The wife of my youth, not another soul could love you like my rotten bones do
I heard they light em up like the blues, i can repair
If i cut you open, but i m a cannonball to a house on fire, rest your weary head and love a better me
I can repair, lover with your long black hair The, and i m the only one around here
