[Verse 1: Tim Armstrong]
Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th Street
He knew that I was in trouble
I was feelin' much like the devil
There was somethin' burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the fun house
Where we played a lonely pinball machine

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of 'em seem to go my way
An' New York City, well, I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia

[Verse 2: Tim Armstrong]
I'm havin' a hard time understandin'
It gets all too demandin'
She's all gone and I'm stranded
Somethin' burnin' deep inside of me
All I know it's 4'o'clock and
She ain't even showed up and
I watched a thousand people go home from work
Yeah

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
Cars passin' by but none of 'em seem to go my way
An' New York City, well, I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia
[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Tim Armstrong]
How many times will it take me
Before I go crazy?
Before I lose everythin'?
Somethin' burnin' deep inside of me
Ran into three Puerto Ricans
These girls took us to the fun house
I don't wanna be alone again

[Chorus]
Hangin' on the corner of 52nd and Broadway
An' cars passin' by but none of 'em seem to go my way
An' New York City, well, I wish I was on the highway
Back to Olympia
