lyrics

Girl now I called you, I don’t like the way we look lately
You said you’d call me have you burned that page in your address book
Babe, I had my doubts, the words stuck in your throat
So for my sake, I walked out, I’ve got the antedote for heartache

Come on downtown Petulla said
come let the neon go to your head like cheap champaigne
Then a tear fell in times square
A tear fell in times square again

So it’s come to this, scuffling around in a cold town
With your freezing kiss, a sting on my lips as I look down
And I broke down I called you, I was curt and cold on your phone machine
Guess I called to say things that I don’t mean

Come on downtown Petulla said
come let the neon go to your head no that’s not rain
Then a tear fell in times square
A tear fell in times square again

(bridge)
A tear fell in times square
Splashed in the gutter and froze there
Thousands of trod but they don’t care
A tear fell in times square
