"Riverside Drive" lyrics - PETER WOLF

Lookin' for a little bit of mystery
Lookin' for a little bit of mystery
Lookin' for a little bit of mystery

Walking by myself down Riverside Drive
Got a cool breeze blowing from the Jersy side
Watching the lights from the Palisades
Got the city buzzin' round me like a serenade
Long time since I walked here last

Funny how the years go by so fast
Whatever happened to you and me
Is now just a photo and a memory
'Cause every step is a memory
Flying by so easily
Moment to moment
It's plain to see
That time don't need nobody

Outside of love
Outside of love
Outside of love again tonight

Swing time on a bourbon high
Full moon stretched out across the sky
Jocko's jiving on the radio
Symphony Sid and his late late show
Sun coming up East River Drive
Garbage trucks loading up a big surprise
Early Sunday morning people going nowhere
Walking slow motion wit a zombie stare
Man, look at this city, it's sure been beat
If you're cooking in the kitchen, gonna feel the heat
Year after year, it's hard to survive
Take a chance with me, baby
Down on Riverside Drive

Outside of love
Outside of love
Outside of love tonight

Lookin' for a little bit of mystery

Meet me baby by the midnight train
This is Wolfa-Goofa Mamma-Toofa callin' your name
There's a cool breeze blowin' by the Jersey Side
One last walk down Riverside Drive

Lookin' for a little bit of mystery...
