"You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse,
The subways are sizzling and the skin of the streets is gleaming with sweat,
I've seen you sitting on the steps outside,
And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost,
I think it's time for you to come inside,
I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never forget"
I just love the alliteration...
