5th Avenue Songtext / Lyric

I stumbled down 5th Avenue

In the winter time, 1982

No heavy coat, thin pair of shoes

In the rush hour crowd, on 5th Avenue

I thought I saw someone I knew

Turned out to be no one but you

Something borrowed, something blue

Ducked in a doorway on 5th Avenue

All my crimes come back to haunt me

Every building seems to judge

Standing tall and looking down

Like fingers pointing from above

On 5th Avenue, on 5th Avenue

The party's over on 5th Avenue

Fortune finds the chosen few

Fools just find someone like you

Build a bank, or you buy a zoo

Monkeys and money on 5th Avenue

Snow falls on 5th Avenue

Your old man is on the evening news

Hard to believe how far he flew

Down, all the way down to 5th Avenue

All my crimes come back to haunt me

Every building seems to judge

Standing tall and looking down

Like fingers pointing from above

On 5th Avenue, on 5th Avenue

The party's over on 5th Avenue

Fortune finds the chosen few

Fools just find someone like you

Build a bank, or you buy a zoo

Monkeys and money on 5th Avenue

Snow falls on 5th Avenue

Your old man is on the evening news

Hard to believe how far he flew

Down, all the way down to 5th Avenue

All my crimes come back to haunt me

Every building seems to judge

Standing tall and looking down

Like fingers pointing from above

On 5th Avenue, on 5th Avenue

The party's over on 5th Avenue

Fortune finds the chosen few

Fools just find someone like you

Build a bank, or you buy a zoo

Monkeys and money on 5th Avenue

Snow falls on 5th Avenue

Your old man is on the evening news

Hard to believe how far he flew

Down, all the way down to 5th Avenue
