"lady midnight"

"we weren't lovers like that"...i spent the day roaming those streets...i have a meeting in the empire state building tomorrow...but today i am a stranger (like king-kong, the old king-kong)...millions of madmen...walking, obeying, destroying...another three olive night...caught in 'the pit'...and i woke up missing her...it has been awhile, but goddamn, i woke up missing her...and it killed me...the city is full of the type of energy that will drive you, me, or your momma insane... and i certainly don't want my momma to grow up insane...where is richard dawson tonite?...in some strip club drinking beefeater and singing 'god save the queen' no doubt...where are you?...long away from my miserable morning...i am mourning, i am dancing, i am human...
