Send your shadow out to coffee for an hour
The man has secrets that only you may hear
He can tell you how to climb the strongest bridge in all this city
And show you how to love atop the great arch of the Brooklyn
Send your shadow out to coffee for an hour
Be alone with the man who has the keys
To service doors that keep the Queensboro out of reach
And rif-raf off the the Williamsburg's steep
Send your shadow out to coffee for an hour
So you can see what it will take to claim this city as your own
The man waits inside the spheres of the Manhattan
He will give you what you never knew you'd need
That shadow that you carry holds its homeland
If you won't send it out to coffee for an hour,
I doubt that you will ever see escape.
