If you start here late no one will know what you did 
No the streets are straight its the soul thats crooked 
Ive been treated fine Ive been treated elegantly 
But Im not one for bathing in the waters of plenty 
 
East is east west is west 
And bowery is screaming while delancey rests 
Well Im south of the skating but Im north of the cash 
I could sure use the money but Im ashamed to ask 
 
The traffic has buried all of last nights rain 
The words are all different but the accent is the same 
 
The sun is white and the moon is gray 
And the river is black blue and green 
The young are young and the old are old 
And there are no shades of gray in between 
 
Theres at least ten different strains of smoke in the air 
And my prints are on them all to prove I was there 
And I love the curses but Im not one for the trenches 
And I do love the walking but thank God for the benches 
 
Its hard to tell where green begins and the city gray stops 
I guess the trees all bought their armor at second hand shops 
My second had is working but the minute hand is broke again 
I know time will pass but I dont know when 
 
The sun is white and the moon is gray 
And the river is black blue and green 
The young are young and the old are old 
And there are no shades of gray in between 
And there are no shades of gray in between 
 
I know the great ones have been here but where I cant tell 
Theres dreams here a plenty but theyre being withheld 
And Im more impressed with the closed doors than the ones that are open 
The whole place tells time by a tower clock thats broken 
 
The pigeons are ravens and the gulls are vultures 
And trash is art and cash is culture 
 
The sun is white and the moon is gray 
And the river is black blue and green 
The young are young and the old are old 
And there are no shades of gray in between 
There are no shades of gray in between 
There are no shades of gray in between
