Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last night's heels
On the mornin' train
It's a long way back downtown
[Verse 2]
Ten missed calls, they don't
Know where you are
It's a long way back downtown
[Verse 3]
Hey, I was flying (Flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
Then you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again
[Verse 4]
When did it start?
This feeling so wrong
When you're down and out downtown
[Verse 5]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Bowery John
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Forgotten but not gone
[Verse 6]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Praying at St. Ann's
Bodega roses in my hands
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Verse 7]
Down and out downtown
And the
Joker with that funny laugh
Is digging through the basement of my past
It's a long way back down
Down and out downtown
[Verse 8]
Hey, I was flying (Flying, flying, flying)
Over the Empire State (Over, away)
When you kissed me (Kissed me, kissed me, kissed me)
And I crashed again
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
