Paroles de Going To Queens

The ghostly sing-song

And the children playing double-dutch

I felt the wind come through the window
I felt it turn around and switch back

In a second story room

In Jamacia, Queens

Your hair was dripping wet

Your skin was clean

And the children skipping rope

Tripled their speed

You were all I ever wanted

You were all I'd ever need

In New York City
The air was heavy, your body was heavy on mine

I will know who you are yet

I will know who you are yet
