 Uptown,  the street's  in a calming way
 And outside  is warm  as a bed  with a maid
 And I find  it's all  our waves  and raves
 That makes  the days  go on  this way
 I heard  the sad sound  of words
 Spoken  from the beak  of a wise  old bird
 Uptown,  the streets  are kept  afloat
 A girl  never leaves me  alone
 He means  well, saying,
 I've got stories  of wine,  superb
 And of  course my childhood, forks  and knives
 And a hospital bed,  where I  turned my life over  and over  again
