lyrics

Well the summer stays with me though the season moves on
I can feel a warm breeze though long days are long gone
And I live in a city where nothing lasts long
But I can smell Coney Island from here

I can't get to sleep 'less I turn on a fan
But it's snowing outside and my girlfriend gets mad
She says "Open that window and I'll break both your arms"
But I can smell Coney Island from here

I can smell Coney Island from here
My mind is fogged up with that greasy hot air
I put on some shorts and walk outside in my bare feet

Now why do I obsess over everyone’s faults
And why is it that waltzes are always called "The Something Waltz"
Is the nature of waltzes so overwhelmingly strong
And is a song about Coney Island just a Coney Island song

I can smell Coney Island from here
My mind is fogged up with that greasy hot air
I'm steaming inside but I don't even care
I sun on my stoop and everyone stares at me
They stare at me

Now my father was born and grew up in New York
Then he moved to Chicago that's where I was born
And I've lived in both places though I move back and forth
I can smell Coney Island from here
