I dived in the Hudson river at night
I got chlamydia the moment I opened my eyes
And glinting through the algae and the seep 
1,000 pinball machines
And LaGuardia's body, was stuck to the seafloor
But before he drowned he got all the high scores

And on the rooftop 
Of my apartment
Smoking a cigarette And staring at the lights
They're reflecting 
Off the hudson 
And the words so dazzlingly bright

Only you (Only you)
Only you (Only you)
Only you understand me

And the cold steel, the cold steel the cold steel knows my name
And the sky above is frighteningly gray
And the coffee shops are closed
Because everyone knows  today
Is the last time 
It's the last chance 

Only you (Only you)
Only you (Only you)
Only you understand me

And in the parking lot
Beneath the highway 
I see it spelled out in the chicken bones
And the words that appear to me
They make me feel a little less alone

Only you (Only you)
Only you (Only you)
Only you understand me

And the football star is pushing 45
He  hurt his foot on a plastic toy in the drive
And he remembers the symphonic swell of the city lights
And a charity ball, and another charity ball 
And her gold tooth that shines like a klieg light
Pierces the fabric of the night
And in a world where even vipers know your name
Stay the same or dissipate and change

Only you (Only you)
Only you (Only you)
Only you understand me
