When I'm on will you leave me on? When I'm on will you leave me on? And when I'm down will you let me get under? Take cover, can't hide without a house Newspapers blow over Can't walk past the driveway without asking for direction So full of stupid questions When the daylight's like florescent light I'm gonna take my time night by night When the daylight's like florescent light I hang my hands over your eyes to hide When I'm on will you rescue me? I watch that telethon Got hung up on the word, I can't get it over Soldier When she says nothing is enough She doesn't mean, don't try to fix it Make plans with your other hand Dream without concession When the daylight's like florescent light I'm gonna take my time night by night When the daylight's like florescent light I hang my hands over your eyes I hang my hands over your eyes to hide Bruised Billy Joel, 'New York State Of Mind' Bruised Billy Joel, 'New York State Of Mind' Bruised Billy Joel, 'New York State Of Mind' Take cover, take pleasure
