Broadway

The great white way

Why the hell do they call it that?

With their Macy's, Vicki S', Mickey D's and the B, D, F and V.

Yea, that would be that square named after some guy, Herald I think



Go about 8 blocks up and you got a whole bunch of steets that wear time on their sleeves, almost literally

Times Square

Where celebs, tourists and locals alike come together

Big signs

Bright lights

7th Avenue Shuffle

42 Street Shuttle

The glitz and glammer as a background to the people's chatter

All the way up to the 50's to that big circle named after he who sailed the ocean blue in 1492



But sometimes I just want to get away from it all

To a place where the buildings aren't so tall

To a place where you'd get more time for less rush

Where the nights are just plain hush hush

Anywhere that's tranquil so I can hear what my mind says

Anywhere that's quiet while I'm away from BK

Something like L.I.or even N.J.

Too quiet huh? Buddy, you're way off Broadway



So pick a Rockaway

Choose a Hampton

Or how about a pair of Amboys while you're at it?

Or a little bit - OOPS! I mean, Elizabeth?

Or how about Douglaston, Hollis, Huntington or the Hills? (forest, that is)

New Brunswick Cartahret, Rahway

Woodridge...oh wait, I meant Ridgewood or Bushwick



At this point, anything would sound like heaven

Whether it be via the 116 or the 10:07

Far Rockaway or Long Beach

Long Branch or I - 95

Either way, I'm out the door

But just for a day, no more

Until then, I'm going a long way

I'm talkin way off Broadway
