(Lee)
2
when the phone rang, 3 in the morning, dead middle of night
3
there was nuthin' on the line
4
i set back the silent receiver
5
tiny flames lit in my head
6
hey did any of you freaks here ever remember lenny?
7
i can't remember his last name
8
he's turned to dust now, one of the chosen few
9
left out in the rain, out of town again
10
left out in the rain, ocean bound i guess
11
between the mattress and a column of hazy faces
12
i remember every word you said
13
quite a clear picture: ev'ry word you said
14
the door was open but the way was not lit
15
and there was no way out of my head
16
on a crimson hiway by a chrome bumper i last saw you:
17
alive
18
inclined to thrive
19
evening fireflies lit sparks around yr head
20
but wait a minute let's back up a bit:
21
some famous stars were busted down on fashion avenue
22
impersonating real men
23
not knowing who they really were
24
now here at dark corners all is calm and quiet and good
25
the kids are up late dreaming quiet questions in a graceful mood:
26
can you please pass me a jug of winter light?
27
fold me in an ocean's whim?
28
in sweet corrosive fire light?
29
in the city made of tin?
30
are you famous under the skin?
31
familiar with the things you wanted?
32
able now to take it all in?
33
making peace w every hole in the story?
34
did lightning keep you up all night?
35
illuminate the soot and grit?
36
can you tell how high the sky tonight?
37
dig out from under in spite of it?
38
can you cover up the one that floats?
39
push back the hours?
40
i hear yr voice, i speak yr name
41
among nyc ghosts and flowers
42
will we meet? to run again?
43
thru nyc ghosts and flowers
