Lyrics:
[VANESSA]
The elevated train by my
window doesn’t faze me anymore
The rattling screams
don’t disrupt my dreams
It’s a lullaby, in its way

The elevated train drives everyone
insane but I don’t mind, oh no
When I bring back boys they
can’t tolerate the noise
And that’s okay, cuz
I never let them stay
And one day, I’m hoppin’ that
elevated train and I’m riding away!
It won’t be long now!


The boys around the way holler at
me when I’m walking down the street
Their machismo pride
doesn’t break my stride—
It’s a compliment, so they say
The boys around the way holler at me
every day but I don’t mind, oh no
If I’m in the mood, it
will not be with some dude
Who is whistling cuz
he has nothing to say
Or who’s honking at
me from his Chevrolet
And one day… I’m hoppin’ in a
limousine and I’m driving away!

It won’t be long now!

The neighborhood salon is the
place I am working for the moment
As I cut their hair,
ladies talk and share—
Every day, who’s doing who and why

The neighborhood salon doesn’t pay me
what I wanna be making but I don’t mind
As I sweep the curb I can hear
those turbo engines blazing
a trail through the sky
I look up and think
about the years gone by
But one day—I’m walkin’
to JFK and I’m gonna fly!
It won’t be long now!
Any day
