at the intersection of five and dime

hey Lou

what was that sound?

is it you digging deeper underground

looking for an exciting place to go

but you still don't know,

as you've said many times in your song,

trying to understand where you went wrong

on a dirty New York City street

moments before we were supposed to meet

at the intersection of five and dime:

maybe you'll come around some other time

drifting inside your mind like softly falling snow

looking for an exciting place to go

maybe Paris on the famous left bank

sailing your vanilla vessel before it sank

and you'll have no one left to thank

wishing you were born a long time ago

looking for an exciting place to go

maybe with a poison spike in your hand

dripping blood onto a beach of white washed sand

playing electric guitar with a massive echo

listening to the haunting voice of beautiful Nico

blonde and slim and dark-eyed

I heard you broke-down and cried

looking for an exciting place to go

as you've said many times in your song,

trying to understand where you went wrong

on a dirty New York City street

moments before we were supposed to meet

at the intersection of five and dime:

maybe you'll come around some other time

drifting inside your mind like softly falling snow

looking for an exciting place to go

but you still don't know.
