Lyrics:
channels
Stayin' on her toes
She's just changin' channels
As she goes
This place is full of beachhead sailors
Fisherman and old retailers
Simple
on an island with that foxy lady too
But when I awaken, I must be mistaken, I'm on Third Avenue
Won't you take me away and take away me
Won't you take me away
on an island with that foxy lady too
But when I awaken, I must be mistaken, I'm on Third Avenue
Won't you take me away and take away me
Won't you take me away
the Highlands and the Islands
The faint reminders stand.
Visitors who took a hand
A thousand years ago, or so
Stranded high and dry by tides
Washed up
With all my friends down in the islands
Wouldn't take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun
Got cold fajitas and only one
to take that long ride
Down Rikers Avenue
(Too many)
Too many niggas in Rikers Island (why must it be?)
Why must it be? (I said that there's too many)
Strange avenues where you lose all sense of direction
And everywhere is Main Street in the winter sun.
The wino sleeps cold coat lined with
I look down from my window
To the island where I'm held
Listen while you're sleeping
Darkness is itself
Tomorrow I am disappearing
'Cause
of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan into an isle of joy
We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten Island too
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
As black
would never change
Then I saw my girl
Walking down on the avenue one day
I said, I wanna talk to you
I wasn't afraid to cry
Emotion was in my eyes
Channels of thought revealing now
Some things we all had
I'm having a wonderful vision of the city today
Buildings all lined up neat on straight sun lit
Island, too
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
Our Flatbush flat, I guess
Will be a great success
Island, too
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
Our Flatbush flat, I guess
Will be a great success
Queens, Long Island, and Brooklyn too
From the Rockefeller Center to 5th Avenue
Still my favorite place in the Empire State is in bed with you
On a sunny island Cube
On a sunny island Cube
I will touch you by the boob
I will touch you by the boob
By the boob
By the boob
On a sunny island
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
CHORUS 4
We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too,
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.
CHORUS 4
We'll have Manhattan,
The Bronx and Staten
Island too,
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
Avenue/Atlantic Avenue due to a street blockage.
Rockaway Park Shuttle trains are holding in stations in both directions while the South Channel Bridge opens for
Island, too
We'll try to cross Fifth Avenue
As black as onyx
We'll find the Bronnix Park Express
Our Flatbush flat, I guess
Will be a great success

(Whassup Meth?)
What you know about niggas from Long Island right?
(Huh?)
True Long Island right?
(All my life!)
All your life
navigate the river
Would you take me to your island?
Sing s siren song so I can never leave
Long and wide
Eternity from side to side
Lead me through
That weather channel girl
With her perfect weather curl
Is talking cold, cold, cold
You can't get out of bed
You can't remember what you've said
for some action, surfin' the avenue
Mad at you, where I used to battle crews
Back when Antoinette had that attitude
Cover me I'm going in, walls
There was a time
When we held each other's hands
There was a man
Who held me in his glance
Who was the king of Island Avenue
That night in my bed
