Roosevelt Island Lyrics

Let's get away from all the noise

From all the screaming girls and boys

Let's hide out in abandoned malls

In unoccupied bathroom stalls

Let's go to where it's always clean

Where rats don't run across our feet

Let's swing right over all the foam

Of the river that protects our home

Baby let's run away to Roosevelt Island

Let's dance across the graves when the moon is shining

I can be Boss Tweed and you'll be Billie Holliday

Let's step right off the stage to Roosevelt Island

Let's go where there's a couple trees

Where there's no one but you and me

Where we can see the city lights

But they don't keep us up at night

Let's go where no one knows our name

Where sirens won't drive us insane

Where there's one way in and one way out

And we can be forgot about

Baby let's run away to Roosevelt Island

Let's dance across the graves when the moon is shining

I can be Boss Tweed and you'll be Billie Holliday

Let's step right off the stage to Roosevelt Island

Baby let's run away to Roosevelt Island

Let's dance across the graves when the moon is shining

I can be Boss Tweed and you'll be Billie Holliday

Let's step right off the stage to Roosevelt Island
