S tart up the engine, we're heavy and rolling
Tankful of ga s and the night is young
D on't know you, don't care where you're going
To the High Lin e or the hea rt of the sun
M y sweet companion is lo ng as the summer
Black as the ri ver and built to glide
S mooth as glass, smooth as Marcus Miller
Cold as ic e when you clim b inside
When the city's flowing
I foun d a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rol ling
Y ou deal in ducats, you deal in illusion
Pay for ple asure with your pretty face
Y ou confuse war and prostitution
In my star ship I sail fre ely through space
When the city's flowing
I foun d a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rol ling
I was lost and lonely like you
Hollow-eyed and broken inside
Then I found something lasting and true
A beautiful ride
M ight have to wait to start in on your drinking
All of Hell's Kitchen's standing in that line
I 'll be here, living in my Lincoln
Occu pying space and conquering time
When the city's flowing
I foun d a way to move my weary soul
Ridin' straight and low
Stay heavy and rol ling
