Features Joey Cola on lead guitar

lyrics

When Rip Van Winkle closed his eyes
The year was 1985
Now he don’t know
New York City no more

Rip woke up starvin’
So, he walked to the Kiev
No more kasha varnishkes
The East Village is dead

When Rip Van Winkle went to sleep
Times Square was all pervs and creeps
Now he don’t know
New York City no more

He went CBGBs
To see a show
Then when he got there
Rip fell like a domino

No Downtown Beirut
For a shot of Scotch
What’s up with City Hall?
You’re not Ed Kotch

Over to Bleecker Bob’s
To get some new records
But now it’s a sushi joint
Squeezed out by landlords

When Rip Van Winkle went to bed
Paul Castellano wasn’t full of lead
Now Rip don’t know
New York City no more

No point in goin’ to Jersey
Or over to Brooklyn
‘Cuz everything Rip remembers
It’s all in the dust bin

When Rip Van Winkle closed his eyes
The year was 1985
Now he don’t know
New York City
What they done to the place
Is oh so shitty
Now we don’t know
New York City no more
More
More
