I got the highest heels on the street But they don't get me as high as I wanna be I was born in the Summer of Sam When all of New York City held its breath, scared to d**h A regular boy in the Reagan time With my BB gun and satellite And boy, did I want my MTV And everything was easy, so easy, it was easy My, oh my, oh my We had promises to keep I sing, my, oh my, oh my Many miles to get to Union Street If we could just get to Union Street Then everything will be alright You were the prettiest girl in town But your mom was a druggie, she kicked you around And everyone knew the word on the street Knew she was easy (So easy) So easy, your ma was easy So meet me there in the parking lot In that part of town that Jesus forgot And bring those pills you stole from your mom And we'll be here, we'll be here And we'll be gone, we'll be long gone My, oh my, oh my We got promises to keep Singing, my, oh my, oh my Can you tell me the way to get to Union Street? If we could just get to Union Street My, oh my, oh my We all have promises to keep In the days of falling stars With every house lit up on Union Street If we could make it to Union Street My, oh my, oh my It's such a long, long way to go And nobody gets out alive But just as long as we got rock 'n' roll Everything will be alright Yeah, it'll be alright
