Roommate of a Friend of Mine

I hate the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge
Dead in the backseat waiting it out
Listening to "Something"
Unload the bass and the amplifiers
Barely make it to the stage
Because the door mans got my I.D. oh

A couple faces look familiar to me
I see you walking in your red coat
looking like an actress

I asked around
You're a roommate of a friend of mine
I asked around
You're a roommate of a friend of mine

After a couple awkward stares from the stage
I wanna meet you on the sidewalk
and follow where you're going
we stand around and see our breath in the wind
You're so lovely in the snow
I bet you're lovely in the summer time

You walk ahead but you won't leave me behind
It's plain and simple girl
I'm gonna get to know you

We share your wine from the bottle in the city lights
I asked around you're a roommate of a friend of mine

Oh the city lights
Inhale me now
Oh the city lights
Inhale me now

I hear the Echo of a DJ down on Avenue A
I chase the music cos I wanna see you dancing
Still can't believe all the funny things I hear you say
To those working men yelling dirty things to you

It's getting late, still I don't know you at all
About to walk right into knowing you forever

We share you're wine from the bottle in the city lights
I asked around you're a roommate of a friend of mine

Oh the city lights
Inhale me now
Oh the city lights
Inhale me now
Oh the city lights
Inhale me now
Oh the city lights

Take me any night
To the city
To the city
To the city
Lights
