lyrics

On West 28th Street’s, an empty old building
I’m told that it used to brew beer for the town
I’d like to go see it, but I’d rather see Paris
so I end up just sittin’ around.

Find a spot on the map, where I’ve never stood before
Places like that, well, there used to be more.
Can’t get excited about finding that here
When West 28th Street’s, all but disappeared.

Everyone talks ‘bout those good olden days
Then everyone moves on just fine
They paved paradise long before I was born
So why do I feel so denied?

For a spot on the map, where I”ve never stood before
Places like that, well, there used to be more
And I can’t get excited about finding that here
West 28th Street’s all but disappeared

But I’ve chosen a path, I’m too stubborn to leave
Is that strength or is that just stupidity
I don’t know if I can keep keepin’ on,
Doing the same thing all over and over and over again.

I used to make plans, now all I make are lists
And vegetable soup and two or three kids
And everything’s pleasant, there ain’t any doubt
But I can’t wait to get the hell out

For a spot on the map, where I”ve never stood before
Daydreams like that, well, I used to have more
But West 28th Street seems light years away
And Paris, I know that I’ll see you ... someday.
