   On the Avenue of dead umbrellas
  In a place where nothin' sleeps
  No one's pickin' up the pieces - no one speaks
  Snow falls down - God dusts funky town
  For once this place looks pure
  Tell that to the people who live in the wind - they ain't so sure
  
  In the middle of a violent night - in the glare of a naked light
  In the middle of a nightmare
  At the bottom of the deepest well - in the middle of a private hell
  Shit scared - out there - nowhere
  
  Then I open my eyes - ice on the window - the sun is tryin' to break through
  
  Then I open my eyes - in the land of the livin' - and it's all right
  Seen a man rattle in a battle that no one could win
  I had to turn my soul away
  Shit's gonna happen - whether you like it or not
  S' just the way it is
  
  Then I open my eyes - boats on the river - headin' down the east side
  Then I open my eyes - and the trash(?) slips away
  Soft and supple - like some alibi
  You been walkin in her sleep - there ain't no cure for the secrets you hide
  
  In the middle of my wildest dream - in a place where nothin's what it seems
  
  At the time of a great loss
  From the hoods and the broken homes - this danger's got a smell of it's own
  In the middle of c-c-chaos
  In the valley of the shadow of death - the Bellevue boys out kickin' ass
  In the middle of fire
  Inside the belly of the beast - in a place where wonders never cease
  You go higher, higher, higher
  
  Then I open my eyes - life in a nutshell - it's over 'fore you know it
  Then I open my eyes
  
  And the city wakes up - puts coffee in cups - when I open my eyes
  And the kids go to school - Imus rules - when I open my eyes
  I love you n' you love me
  N' it rains so I buy an umbrella from the guy on 23rd and Second Avenue
