Come meet me on Astor We'll make fun the NYU kids Who came here from Ohio But never been north of 25th You and I been here most our lives We can talk a little shit Bout all these new faces All the changes that come with them You are My only constant You're a flicker of light, the Empire State in the dark You are My only constant You're a good heart Or a landmark, love Come meet me on Bleeker Our favorite record store closed down But I ain't complaining It's either swim or else you drown The needle falls The vinyl turns Another year goes round You can see it clear From Union Square In the movement of the clouds You are My only constant You're a flicker of light, the Empire State in the dark You are My only constant You're a good heart Or a landmark, love Down on the lower east Some teens make fun of you For that flower you wear in your hair But they've got on jeans and beanies It's like 85 degrees So we laugh And never leave We never leave We never leave
