Xiamen
Young girl, walking in the rain
Nighthawks of New Amsterdam town know her name
She's a regular fascination with the newsroom boys
But they don't know what it's like to hear all that noise
Oh yeah No yeah oh yeah
Down to our Sisters of Deliverance but the chapel is closed
So she takes them to the laundromat to wash with her clothes
And the clothes that she is wearing they're tight to her skin
She looks just like a silent movie actress from 1910
Temporary sanity I plead
Everybody knows deep down what they need
Maybe it's a dream but I'm dancing with you
Lady Is Lucky, lucky as a dog
Who's bone has been washed away by the rain
Even that dog's got to play the game
Switched onto the radio candidates debate
I'll read it in the headlines cuz I'm coming in late
Its the timing and the harmony she inherently conducts
Dissonance is stirring but she don't know from what
Oh yeah Oh yeaaaaah
Standing on the platform she starts right in on me
Anyone would think we had a history
She said I wanna go to Xiamen and live by the sea
I said baby I'm a New York boy lets just see where this leads
Temporary sanity I plead
Everybody knows deep down what they need
Maybe it's a dream but I'm dancing with you
Lady Is Lucky, lucky as a dog
Who's been caught all night in the rain
But that dog don't feel no shame
She's seen the signs but she don't like the scene
The subway howls and the city just screams
It's no consolation knowing nothing ever lasts
She carries herself just like a memory, a ghost from the past
Nighthawks of New Amsterdam town know her name
She's a regular fascination with the newsroom boys
But they don't know what it's like to hear all that noise
Oh yeah No yeah oh yeah
Down to our Sisters of Deliverance but the chapel is closed
So she takes them to the laundromat to wash with her clothes
And the clothes that she is wearing they're tight to her skin
She looks just like a silent movie actress from 1910
Temporary sanity I plead
Everybody knows deep down what they need
Maybe it's a dream but I'm dancing with you
Lady Is Lucky, lucky as a dog
Who's bone has been washed away by the rain
Even that dog's got to play the game
Switched onto the radio candidates debate
I'll read it in the headlines cuz I'm coming in late
Its the timing and the harmony she inherently conducts
Dissonance is stirring but she don't know from what
Oh yeah Oh yeaaaaah
Standing on the platform she starts right in on me
Anyone would think we had a history
She said I wanna go to Xiamen and live by the sea

She's seen the signs but she don't like the scene
The subway howls and the city just screams
It's no consolation knowing nothing ever lasts
She carries herself just like a memory, a ghost from the past
