Jody, what you been doin'?
It's been a long, long time
Since we were dancin' in the schoolyard
With your breasts like bleedin' limes
Jody, you're still hangin' with that Latin
With rabbit fur inside his wheels
With his Gilbert Roland lippiece
And his glove compartment deals
Uptown, we're watching debutantes skatin'
Across the reservoir ice
Dressed in tweed and leather flags
Aw, you whispered six words twice
Jody, look what time has done
To people who live on the run
Jody, look what time has done
Jody, I spent years livin' at the movies
I really hated you awhile
I wrote so many incantations
Lord, I had to keep a file
You said "Uptown", I said "Downtown"
Downtown the rooftops are wide
I was sinkin' in the tar, I screamed
"Hey, this city's on my side!"
Jody, go to any window
Raise your eyes to the sky
Is that our destiny of yesterday
Or just a vault of lies?
Jody, look what time has done
To people who live on the run
Jody, look what time has done
Jody, all the laid-down promises
They were just the trading of scars
But I remember the wild nights
We'd change mountains into stars
Uptown, the buildings are syringes
They're all just glass and dreams
Hey, one thing about Manhattan
It's always just what it seems
Jody, remember the park
We entered at the zoo?
That's when I told you that the cheetah
Walked as fine as you
Jody, look what time has done
To people who live on the run
Jody, look what time has done
