In My Tenement

Clothes on the wash line never look new
The smoky air turns them grey
The sun can't pass through my dirty window
I kinda like it that way

In my tenement
At the top of the stairs
In my tenement
She'll be waiting right there
In my tenement
I feel like I'm a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything

The rumbling of the subway passing by
To us is like a summer rain
We don't have nothing but plain tap water
But I'll never complain

In my tenement
At the top of the stairs
In my tenement, yeah
She'll be waiting right there
In my tenement
I feel like I'm a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything

Life is hard but we don't mind
We've got each other to cling to
She makes living worthwhile with her smile
You know she makes my dreams come true

In my tenement
At the top of the stairs
In my tenement
She'll be waiting right there
In my tenement
I feel like I'm a king
In my tenement
She gives me everything

In my tenement
I feel like I'm a king
She gives me everything
