Acoustic Junction - East Side Story lyrics

Sitting on a stairwell on the Upper East Side Oh Jack watches as a poodle in it's mink stroll by The skies turns to grey as old Jack he turns away knowin' that poodle probably eats better than most cats in this town And he wants to leave but he knows he is bound To open shelters wherever they may be found To the West Side skies, new hope in his eyes Another day here, another day alive. In New York City, his friends can be found Mumblin' about doors being too big, too wide, too round Or you'll see them in the alley with their coats not too thick Or you'll hear them in the subway askin' for money or an old ticket to New Brunswick. Jack he gave in many long winters ago When the bright lights of the city dimmed to a desperate glow And the four seasons, they turned to snow "Baby you can never be warm once you've been that cold."
