I got the highest heels on the street
But they don't get me as high as I wanna be
I was born in the Summer of Sam

When all of New York City held its breath
Scared to death


A regular boy in the Reagan time
With my BB gun and satellite
And boy, did I want my MTV

And everything was easy
So easy
It was easy


My, oh my, oh my
We had promises to keep

I sing, my, oh my, oh my
Many miles to get to Union Street
If we could just get to Union Street

Then everything will be alright

You were the prettiest girl in town

But your mom was a druggie, she kicked you around
And everyone knew the word on the street
Knew she was easy (so easy)

So easy
Your ma was easy


So meet me there in the parking lot
In that part of town that Jesus forgot
And bring those pills you stole from your mom

And we'll be here
We'll be here
And we'll be gone

We'll be long gone

My, oh my, oh my

We got promises to keep
Singing, my, oh my, oh my
Can you tell me the way to get to Union Street?

If we could just get to Union Street
My, oh my, oh my


We all have promises to keep
In the days of falling stars
With every house lit up on Union Street

If we could make it to Union Street
My, oh my, oh my
It's such a long long way to go

And nobody gets out alive
But just as long as we got rock 'n' roll
Everything will be alright

Yeah, it'll be alright
