Lyrics

Baby, come and find me Where salsa music drowns the air Baby, take the C train One hundred twenty blocks from ol' Times Square Takes a little navigation After the construction and the police investigation In ninety five minutes you're Harlem bound Baby, while you're riding Keep an open eye You don't know where the crackhead's hiding And as you emerge from underground Take a gander at the Eden I have found Baby, come and find me In the garden of ghetto delights Baby, I need saving Get me the hell out of Washington Heights Help me to find what's dying in the trash room Smell smells you ain′t never smelled before One time I found a pigeon in the kitchen Though there′s bars on the windows and locks on the door Inside there's no natural sunlight Inside I can only grow bamboo Inside I recite and recite and recite Mister Washington and me are through Baby, come and find me You can grab a bag of schwag on the way But if it′s getting dark out You better be planning to stay Just a little concrete cabin Sure it's not the village, but at least it′s in Manhattan In ninety-five minutes you're Harlem bound Hope that you speak Spanish Simply say hello, and the neighbors tend to vanish We'll take a stroll through the Polo grounds And marvel at the Eden I have found Baby, we'll be singing Dominican karaoke tonight Baby, I need saving Get me the hell out of Washington Heights I love the bodega on the corner Where the lady calls me "Papi" Your beer is easy on the pocket And so is your rent For one year, I admired you Two years I embraced you But six fucking years Was an accident Baby, come and find me Where salsa music drowns the air Baby, take the C train One hundred twenty blocks from ol' Times Square Baby, come and find me Join me in some sleepless nights Baby, I need saving Get me the hell Out of Washington Heights
