Lyrics

The old 6 train empties onto me
On third avenue, its tide pulls on my feet
I belong to every street of its sea
Waves of people are washing over me

Uptown my baby waits for me
But downtown, in a yellow cab’s back seat
I drift through every busy street like debris
Waves of people, faceless all to me
Waves of people, washing over me
Washing over me ooh

(Bridge)
I used to worship everything about you
But then you chewed me up and spit me out
And still you bowl me over with a feather
And that’s what you’re about, yeah that’s what you’re about

Skycrapers bring me to my knees
The human spectrum finally complete
In its riptide I release, I’m free
Waves of people, faceless all to me
Waves of people, are washing over me
