[00:14.60] The rain slammed hard as bars
[00:19.85] 
[00:23.78] It caught me--by surprise
[00:27.22] 
[00:30.37] Mutts of the planet
[00:34.83] And shook me down for alibis
[00:39.72] 
[00:44.13] I'm waiting
[00:46.72] For the keeper to release me
[00:52.11] Debating this sentence
[00:57.29] Biding my time
[01:01.91] In memories
[01:05.93] Of old friends of mine ...
[01:10.07] In daydreams of Birdland
[01:15.11] 
[01:17.25] I see my soul on fire
[01:20.22] Burning up the bandstand
[01:25.42] Next time
[01:26.58] I'll be bigger!
[01:30.89] I'll be better than ever!
[01:34.30] I'll be happily attached
[01:38.53] To my cold hard cash!
[01:43.76] But now Manhattan holds me
[01:50.58] 
[01:52.66] To a chair in the sky
[01:58.39] With the bird in my ears
[02:03.12] And boats in my eyes
[02:07.50] 
[02:10.08] Going by
[02:13.63] 
[02:58.08] There are things I wish I'd done
[03:01.47] 
[03:24.86] Some friends I'm gonna miss
[03:34.03] Beautiful lovers
[03:39.43] I never got the chance to kiss...
[03:43.64] 
[03:47.94] Daydreamin' drugs the pain of living
[03:52.61] 
[03:56.27] Processions of missing
[04:00.45] Lovers and friends
[04:05.29] Fade in and they fade out again
[04:13.48] In these daydreams of rebirth
[04:19.01] 
[04:22.13] I see myself in style
[04:25.96] Raking in what I'm worth
[04:28.90] Next time
[04:30.97] I'll be bigger!
[04:34.28] I'll be better than ever!
[04:38.31] I'll be resurrected royal!
[04:41.77] I'll be rich as Standard Oil!
[04:46.40] But now--Manhattan holds me
[04:54.84] 
[04:56.85] To a chair in the sky
[05:02.34] With the bird in my ears
[05:06.85] And boats in my eyes
[05:10.98] 
[05:13.97] Going by
[05:16.97]
