Uptown, the street's in a calming way

And outside is warm as a bed with a maid

F# D#m G#m C# F#
I heard the sad sound of words
D#m G#m C# F#
Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird

Uptown, the streets are kept afloat

Our ground never leaves me alone

He means well, saying, I've got stories
F# D#m G#m C#
Of wine, superb, and of course my childhood

Forks and knives, and a hospital bed
F# D#m G#m C# (G)
Where I turned my life over and over again
F# D#m G#m C# (x10)
