Avenue B
---------------


 Rapper standing on the corner
 Wrappers flying in the wind
 Waitress up from Alabama
 Can't believe the cold she's in
 And me, I'm sitting in my castle
 On the verge of a divorce

 And if I haven't got a hassle
 I'll create my own, of course
 Still I gotta live with my feelings
 But I know about science too
 And fame and death and money
 And what they do to you

 And I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 Tonight on Avenue B

 I bought about a hundred candles
 I'm burnin' em both night and day
 I'm sleepin' when I should be eatin'
 Cryin' when I should be gay
 My girlfriend's warm and loves me
 She's knockin' but she can't get in
 I'm a product of the paranoia
 Of the age I'm in

 And I am gonna need a miracle
 I'm really gonna need a miracle
 I'm really gonna need a miracle
 Tonight on Avenue B

 I see the students out my window
 They're walking in their student clothes
 Eatin' books and information
 To make their understanding grow
 But this much I understand
 It's hard to be an empty man
 But since I gave `em every part of me
 I ain't free

 And I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 Tonight on Avenue B

 I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 I am gonna need a miracle
 Tonight on Avenue B
