I can't seem to take you anywhere
you ditched your friends in New York Center (?) Square
where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
hail a taxicab, don't want to walk
the nighttime here is a plastic box
gently amplified in the basement rock
the distant tones from the detainees
friendly girls who pack it full of these
when you're not around, this is our sound
I can't seem to take you anywhere
you ditched your friends in New York Center (?) Square
where the rank and file shoot us dirty looks
hail a taxicab, don't want to walk
the nighttime here is a plastic box
