If you must drive slow, please let me by I hate driving 'round here Trouble seems to follow me close whenever I'm near New York City at the docks of the longshoreman's pier It leaves a dirty taste in my mouth I left and didn't care North from South I can see it now you're fadin' out Fadin' out, fadin out, fadin out, fadin' out I hate the city where the uptown people get high But rock-n-roll clubs are sure getting harder to find And when I'm there I don't care I just try to get by It leaves a dirty taste in my mouth I left and didn't care North from South I can see it now you're fadin' out Fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out, fadin' out
