Rapper standing on the corner
|
Wrappers flying in the wind
|
Waitress up from Alabama
|
Can't believe the cold she's in
|
And me, I'm sitting in my castle
|
On the verge of a divorce
|
|
And if I haven't got a hassle
|
I'll create my own, of course
|
Still I gotta live with my feelings
|
But I know about science too
|
And fame and death and money
|
And what they do to you
|
|
And I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
Tonight on Avenue B
|
|
I bought about a hundred candles
|
I'm burnin' em both night and day
|
I'm sleepin' when I should be eatin'
|
Cryin' when I should be gay
|
My girlfriend's warm and loves me
|
She's knockin' but she can't get in
|
I'm a product of the paranoia
|
Of the age I'm in
|
|
And I am gonna need a miracle
|
I'm really gonna need a miracle
|
I'm really gonna need a miracle
|
Tonight on Avenue B
|
|
I see the students out my window
|
They're walking in their student clothes
|
Eatin' books and information
|
To make their understanding grow
|
But this much I understand
|
It's hard to be an empty man
|
But since I gave `em every part of me
|
I ain't free
|
|
And I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
Tonight on Avenue B
|
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
I am gonna need a miracle
|
Tonight on Avenue B
