Rain streaks the windshield, smearing the neon signs of 42nd Street into bleeding colors. I pull the cab to the curb outside your building, the engine idling rough. I've seen you through the glass, night after night, surrounded by people and glowing screens. It's all empty noise. Tonight I stepped inside. Now I'm standing here, soaked coat dripping on your floor, and I see it clear as the city lights. You look like you need something real. And if you want to call it a friend, you can call it a friend. What do you say, you?
