Lyrics[]
On a Wednesday, on the 110 I felt the fever rise again The weatherman east of here predicted rain I hammered the words into my brain That you were all I'd ever needed to get by On the Long Island Expressway At 4 A.M. on a Tuesday Humidity like I'd never known before And you sleeping like a baby, I could hear the engine roar Somewhere high up above us in the New York sky Where time means less than nothing, and no one ever dies Someone knew that you were all there was worth needing
