SUNDAY IN NEW YORK (NOTHING'S GOING ON...)
Pigeons are painting Wall Street’s bull
White as ash on Sunday noon
A crazy tourist hops
On the bus
Underground a Yiddish band
Plays Yerushalayim Shel Zahav
Gets a fiver for
A broken amp
A drunken homeless journalist
Rides a bike on Fifty-Ninth
Gets hit by a cab
And a delivery guy
A horde of Chinese bumblebees
Queues for Tosca at The Met
In the park the bear
Gus takes a nap
It’s Sunday in New York
The rain before it falls
No one’s going to the park
It’s Sunday in New York
These solitary walls
Windows opened wide
Gene won’t go outside
It’s Sunday in New York (nothing’s going on)
It’s Sunday in New York (nothing’s going on)
It’s Sunday (nothing’s going on) in New York
The piano plays a porter tune
At the Waldorf Astoria tea salon
Protesters for climate
Stay silent
A passerby helps a guy
Who go hit riding on his bike
And gets a selfie
Of the cab’s crime
It’s Sunday in New York
The rain before it falls
No one’s going to the park
It’s Sunday in New York
These solitary walls
Windows opened wide
Gene won’t go outside
I gather up our dreams, I’ll put them in a drawer
I’ll put all your CDs, in box by the door
Your beauty set and headphones too
I’ll leave a note here for you
It’s Sunday in New York
The rain before it falls
No one’s going to the park
It’s Sunday in New York
These solitary walls
Windows opened wide
Gene won’t go outside
It’s Sunday in New York (nothing’s going on)
It’s Sunday in New York (nothing’s going on)
It’s Sunday (nothing’s going on) in New York
Stand clear of the closing doors
