I saw you rollerblading by
From my third floor window
You were all bundled up for winter
On the 2nd of October.
Waiting for the light to change and you move slowly on
Fade into the avenue the buildings and the clouds
How will you stay warm–how will you stay warm
How will you stay warm

I thought of you my dear down there
And that man that you been livin with
He doesn’t beat you up, but just as bad
He don’t inspire you.
Night after night, day after day
In your air condition carpet cage.
How will you stay warm–how will you stay warm
How will you stay warm

I’m goin uptown the the art exhibit, my friend Mike just trashed
I need some dough so I’m gonna stop, at the cash machine for cash

Later this afternoon I’m rollerblading
In the sky, in the sky.
I’m gonna float on past your window
Give it a shine, & say goodbye
Eating breakfast at dinnertime
Having parties inside my mind.
How will I stay warm–how will I stay warm
How will I stay warm

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
