Nicky’s on the deck
Looking for the rain.
He’s been to the Loft and
he’s trying to get off.
On West 22nd, later Mercer Street
Grace Jones and Loleatta
Put the fire to the feet.
don’t hang the art
in the Gallery
don’t hang the artist
in the Studio
we know how to chase the rabbits
it something that we learned in school
we know how to make it rain
so you never wanna forget
we know how to chain the jungle
and chase the drums to make the storm
we know how to catch your eye
but we never will forget you
You’re gonna tell me to get down
You are gonna tell me to get over it
You are gonna help me to get off
all the way, all the way
You’re gonna tell me to get down
You are gonna tell me to get over it
You are gonna help me to get off
all the way, all the way
Work don’t pay the bills
and all they are is cost
you can park in paradise
and you can leave the lights on
Getting through to you is
Getting into you
Getting inside you
is the surest shot
don’t hang the art
in the Gallery
don’t hang the artist
in the Studio
