Hangin" out with Lars down on 6th street
he knew I was in trouble
I was feeling much like the devil
there was something burnin" deep inside of me

ran into three Puerto Ricans
these girls took us to the funhouse
where we played a lonely pinball machine 

hangin" on the corner of 52nd. and Broadway
cars passin" by but none of them seem to be goin" my way 

New York City well I wish I was on a highway
back to Olympia...

I"m having a hard time understanding
it gets all too demanding
she"s all gone and I"m stranded
something burning deep inside of me 

all I know it"s 4"o"clock and
she ain"t never showed up
and I watched a thousand people go home from work 

how many times will it take me
before I go crazy
before I lose everything
something burning deep inside of
me ran into three Puerto Ricans
those girls took us to the funhous
