Walk of Life
Jumped into a cab before sunrise in TriBeCa. As we sped through the backstreets of Chinatown, LES, and into Alphabet City, the cab driver's cd started playing Dire Straits' "Walk of Life." My grandfather's favorite song before his death, I felt as if my Pap Pap George was whispering hello to me, on a cold wintery January night.
I gave the cab driver an obnoxiously large tip and complemented him on his choice of the Brothers in Arms CD. He gave the money back, saying that I was his best customer of the night, and that was enough.

And we're over in a 52nd Street apartment,
Socializing with the wino few,
Just to be hip and get wet with the jet set.
But they're flying too high to see my point of view.

That's the way it all should happen
When you're in, when you're in the state you're in;
You've got your pen and notebook ready,
I think it's about time, time for us to begin.

And the restaurant tables are completely covered.
The record company has paid out for the wine.
You got everything in the world you ever wanted
Right about now your face should wear a smile.

And for every cross-cuttin' country corner,
For every Hank Williams railroad train that cried,
And all the chains, badges, flags and emblems
And every strain on every brain and every eye

All the orange boxes are scattered.
Against the Safeway's supermarket in the rain.
And everybody feels so determined
Not to feel anyone else's pain.

And I'm hoping the choice won't blow the hoist
Cause this town, they bit off more than they can chew.

Meanwhile back in San Francisco
We're trying hard to make this whole thing blend,
As we sit upon this jagged
Storey block, with you my friend.

Chamois cleaning all the windows,
Singing songs about Edith Piaf's soul.
And I hear blue strains of "no regredior"
Across the street from Cathedral Notre Dame.

Pictures of the Gone World
(You know that) No one's making no commitments
To anybody but themselves,
Hidin' behind closed doorways,
Tryin' to get outside, outside of empty shells
