This verse of this song was stuck in my head all week:
And she said honey take me dancing,
But they ended up by sleeping,
In a doorway,
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway,
Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes.
The other good line is:
She was physically forgotten,
Then she slipped into my pocket,
With my car keys.
