Reed Pittman - West 4th & 6th Lyrics

We had Mexican beers on a fire escape
Swore that the stars spelled out our names
The a/c was broken
So we slept with the windows open
There were church bells, sirens and car alarms
In three-part harmony right after dawn
We walked down to the diner
Brought a smoke but I lost my lighter
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue
On the ride into port authority
Got a taxi cab lecture on eternity
He said let go of the burdens and troubles you carry
Cause this life is nothing but temporary
Sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue
All the glass and the steel make you feel so small
They cut through the sky and remind you it ain’t all
About your problems, your past, the nights you can’t get back
Get on the train, stop fighting the track
Cause sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue

We had Mexican beers on a fire escape
Swore that the stars spelled out our names
The a/c was broken
So we slept with the windows open
There were church bells, sirens and car alarms
In three-part harmony right after dawn
We walked down to the diner
Brought a smoke but I lost my lighter
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue
On the ride into port authority
Got a taxi cab lecture on eternity
He said let go of the burdens and troubles you carry
Cause this life is nothing but temporary
Sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue
All the glass and the steel make you feel so small
They cut through the sky and remind you it ain’t all
About your problems, your past, the nights you can’t get back
Get on the train, stop fighting the track
Cause sometimes you just gotta get away
To a place where nobody knows your name
Get lost in the lights, let the rhythm of the night
Take your hand and lead you astray
Funny how you feel brand new
Down West 4th and 6th avenue
