Washington Street lyrics
Song information
Artist: Laurie Anderson Album: Life On A String
Lyrics
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
Rainy days. rainy nights Steam rises, covers the city
Pieces of old newspaper float like paper boats They slide along the rushing water in the gutter
Rainy days. rainy nights Rain falls down and covers the city
It falls from fabulous heights Covers the streets with its sparkling skin
And over on jane street they're shooting that movie again 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
Rainy days. rainy nights Rain falls down and covers the city
It falls from fabulous heights Covers the streets with its sparkling skin
A man on a park bench He sits in the pouring rain
