Slinging hash since three AM
Watch the city wake again
Coffee steaming in the pot
Midtown is a heavy spot
Swing high through the concrete web
Where the city currents ebb
Red and blue against the grey
Chasing out the break of day
Regulars in vinyl booths
Talking bout the honest truths
Spider-man just flew on past
Moving way too smooth and fast
Swing high through the concrete web
Where the city currents ebb
Red and blue against the grey
Chasing out the break of day
Steel and glass and yellow cabs
Life is just a series of grabs
He is diving from the height
Keeping all the alleys bright
Swing high through the concrete web
Where the city currents ebb
Red and blue against the grey
Chasing out the break of day
One man carrying the weight
Fighting with a heavy fate
Just a kid from Queens in flight
Holding on with all his might
Griddle hot and plates are clean
Smallest hero I have seen
He deserves a slice of pie
Before he hits the open sky
Swing high through the concrete web
Where the city currents ebb
Red and blue against the grey
Chasing out the break of day
Keep the change, kid.
Stay safe up there.
Just keep swinging.
