You called me.
why do you call me?
Why do I answer,
When I know?
Oh I know.
You're crying.
Why are you crying?
And how can you say that,
When you know?
Oh you know.
That you were the sun, giving up behind the golden gate
Now you're the bum begging up and down the lower height.
Oh you know.
That you were the band going out to play one more song
Now you're the giant out at second cause you thought he was gone.
I call her.
Why do I call her?
And why does she answer,
When she knows?
Oh she knows.
I was laughing.
Why am I laughing?
And how can I say that,
When I know?
Oh I know.
I was a fire-escape party over Union Square
Now I'm a cab driver fucking over every fare.
Oh I know.
I was a young Dylan tossing out the perfect verse.
Now I'm another damn Yankee, 'can't toss it to first.
Woo Hoo Hoo
Lord, I can't toss it to first!
Woo Hoo Hoo
Lord I can't toss it to first!
Oh we know.
We were the band going out to play one more song.
Now we're the giant out at second 'cause we thought he was gone.
