Lock the windows the gates on
Taxi in the distance coming along
Stalking the streets till the break of day

Near some cats but dogs don't bark
Cool cats strolling after dark

Shaky lock and kicky door
Smokey air that I adore
Down in the alley is where I hunt
All is quiet on the eastern front
Stalking the street till the break of day
New York beauty take my breath away
