It's not breaking news that Dee Dee Ramone is a lyrical genius (It was him what wrote "chewin' out a rhythm on my bubble gum, the sun is out and I want some"), but his detailing NYC life in 1981 here is mesmerizing:
See me silently quietly creep
I am too amped to sleep
Lamp rays shining down
I am too amped to sleep
Lamp rays shining down
Street lamps make the buzzing sound
Subway creaking down below
Garbage piled up and ready to go
Subway creaking down below
Garbage piled up and ready to go
Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark
Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the streets till the break of daySmokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
New York beauty take my breath away
