Well I got down on the subway with my oldest friend Jean Luke<br />
And commemorated the occasion with his gin and my juice<br />
"Luke, you got me thinkin', you're drunk all the time"<br />
"No" with a chuckle, "I'm not drunk I feel so fine"<br />
<br />
Lay it down in full view<br />
Lay it down in full view<br />
<br />
Well stuck there on the D train where it heads above ground<br />
Into a scene of blasted buildings<br />
Where the drunks go to fall down<br />
Starin' out the window asked about Secona Lee<br />
"And Luke, do me a favor, never mention that to me"<br />
<br />
Lay it down in full view<br />
And lay it down in full view<br />
<br />
He's still starin' out the window as I pat myself on the back<br />
And I feel a little better 'cause I'll never end like that<br />
But you know our only difference<br />
He gets drunk while I chase fame<br />
Just like Luke in the evening, there's no one to say my name<br />
<br />
Lay it down in full view<br />
Layin' it down in full view
