Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th street 
he knew I was in trouble 
I was feeling much like the devil 
there was something burnin' deep inside of me 
 
ran into three Puerto Ricans 
these girls took us to the funhouse 
where we played a lonely pinball machine  
 
hangin' on the corner of 52nd. and Broadway 
cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin' my way  
 
New York City well I wish I was on a highway 
back to Olympia... 
 
I'm having a hard time understanding 
it gets all too demanding 
she's all gone and I'm stranded 
something burning deep inside of me  
 
all I know it's 4'o'clock and 
she ain't never showed up 
and I watched a thousand people go home from work  
 
how many times will it take me 
before I go crazy 
before I lose everything 
something burning deep inside of 
me ran into three Puerto Ricans 
those girls took us to the funhouse 
I don't wanna be alone again.
