crosstown
under the freeway
late at night
crosstown
over the river shining bright
i reach my destination and i find her arms waiting to hold me
her love is mine
she lives high on the hillside
ain't no shack
she's got anything she wants
she don't lack
daddy calls her his precious but he would die
if he knew what his darling daughter did on the sly
and when we can't be together i call my imagination
takes me over the water
crosstown is around the world
now i'm working the night shift every night
and i'm doing the day shift none too bright
but i'm keeping my head down
doing time
'cause i'm working to make her
working to make her mine
and when we can't be together i call my imagination
takes me over the water
crosstown is around the world
