laurie anderson - washington street (live) كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
it’s midnight downtown
it’s been raining for days
rain beats down
it covers the streets with its sparkling skin

in the deli purple light
a woman in a party dress pays for some milk
yellow cab stops for a light
two men in black hats are running
a messenger on a bike

pile-drivers pounding
they’ve set up some lights
they’re digging a hole
it’s filling up with black water

[chorus]
rainy days. rainy nights
steam rises, covers the city

[verse 2]
pieces of old newspaper floats
like little paper boats
they slide along the rushing water in the gutter

[chorus]
rainy days. rainy nights
rain falls down and covers the city
it falls from fabulous heights
covers the streets with its sparkling skin

[verse 3]
and over on jane street
they’re shooting that movie again
ah, they just can’t seem to get it right
behind a warehouse
in a burned out building
a man is sleeping
in a cardboard box
on a pile of salt

[chorus]
rainy days. rainy nights
rain falls down and covers the city
it falls from fabulous heights
covers the streets with its sparkling skin

[verse 4]
a man on a park bench
he sits in the pouring rain
in the meat markets
photographer’s lights
flash in the windows
on washington street
a rat runs ’round the corner
looking for something to eat
