It doesn't take much these days to trap me A look, a smile, a touch and you've got me I fall in love the way folks race cars Jump from cliffs, build rockets, shoot for the stars I get the same thrill Get the same rush to the heart Follow the east side highway in the dark
It's the danger that gets me The chance that you'll let me Get close to your heart As we walk down the Hudson River To Battery Park As we walk down the Hudson River Afloat in the dark As I jump from the cliffside Lit brief by a spark
Such a fool am I, such fools are we We bring salt to the ocean, fish to the sea We'll sing songs to our maker Songs that make me feel young We'll blaze trails in the woods of our hearts Before we're done
It's so strange how it gets me The chance that you'll let me Try out for the part As we walk down the Hudson River To Battery Park As we walk down the Hudson River Afloat in the dark As I jump from the cliffside Lit brief by a spark
Cast fire into fire Render hot air unto air Each to his own bed Whether barren or shared It's the fear that directs me The chance that corrects me To get close to the part Where I walk down the river And up to your heart As I jump from the cliffside Lit brief by a spark
