I look above my head
Where there once were trees
There's buildings instead
I look down at my feet
Where there once was grass
Now it's concrete
We make our choices
We pick our poison
And the grass is always greener in my memory
New York homunculus
City driving subway and bus
On all these busy streets
Brooklyn sidewalks filled
With all kinds of people to meet
And they smile
But all the while
The grass is always greener in my memory
I can find my way
Like a beating heart
I can always play
Every single part
I can dance around
In the rat race maze
I can touch the ground
With my heart ablaze
Someday I will return
To where the fire files
And the fires burn
For now my city heart
Beats ever faster
And miles apart
From the crickets
And silent listen
And the grass is always greener in my memory
