The sidewalk is rushing at my head again I’m lying on the street in the rain and wind From doing forward rolls down avenue A With my guitar on my back, don’t let it end this way
Somehow I dialed my cell I didn’t know I could get service in hell How quickly can you get here, don’t know where I am dear Finally the world actually seems to be revolving around me
*chorus* Shoo-be-doo-be-doo-wop I overdid it at the soda shop Thanks for being my girl at the I-don’t-know-when-to-stop sock hop *chorus end*
You held my head over the edge of the bed I remember it now, but at the time I thought I was dead You put a pan there, and held back my hair How can I repay you for saving me and my hardwood floor?
chorus
And when the world stopped spinning ’round I picked the pan up off the ground I read my upheaves, much like tea leaves They said it’s over, so get sober, or you’ll die again
