 Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer 

Waiting but I don't mind
I'm all bus stops and heat
I'm neon in your daylight

I'm the optimist of 30th Street
How it is is how it oughta be

I got anything but moneyed esteem
Drinks on Conde Nast 
I'm the optimist of 30th Street
How it is is how it oughta be

I spy Vivian Girls on the Up, Upper East
There's no reason to be upset
There's no reason to not expect

There's no room for emptiness 
No tea or sympathy 
There's no room for emptiness 
On a never empty street
