Текст песни: Ugly Manhattan + перевод

In the early morning, in ugly Manhattan

Cars slow down and jam then slowly crawl away

Up and down the avenue, ticker tape and revenue

I am just an arty, so I write a poem

In the peak of daytime, in sprawling Manhattan

I walk along Wall Street, but Wall Street stays the same

Up and down the avenue, ticker tape around you

I am a stockbroker so I stand on top of things

I am musician. People think I’m groovy

Because I saw a movie and think that I’m in it

Up and down the avenue, Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed, too

The joke’s not just on you, it’s also on them, too
