Coney island, usa Lyrics

underneath the rhythm of the street
underneath the taxis and the shuffling feet
I fell asleep on a train.
In the middle of the night
I went far away
from my destination
I missed my stop
I slept through Carroll Station
I went far away
to Coney Island, U.S.A.
I guess I had a little too much to drink
champagne at St. Vincent's
my friend turned 84 and she said,
"it's too late now for me,
but it ain't too late for you."
I went far far away
from my destination...
The boardwalk was quiet
all the Russians were sleeping
I thought I saw a whale up in the clouds
its bloodshot eye upon me
blinking through the fog
maybe it was just a star
far away
