No Telling When
Adam Baldwin Lyrics

New York city sunset
The sun is setting in New York City

They say this city never sleeps
The city is known for being active and lively

They tell ya not to mind the freaks
People advise you to ignore the odd or unusual people in the city

But Davey moved into Gracie
It is mentioned that Davey has moved into a new location called Gracie

When they gave Eddie the axe
When Eddie was fired or terminated from a job

Ya gotta love the Democrats
A political party, Democrats, are allegedly doing something worth admiring

Theres a couple on Fifth Avenue
A pair of people can be seen on Fifth Avenue

They been sparrin' for a while
The couple has been arguing or having disagreements for some time

I really hope they reconcile
The singer is expressing a wish that the couple makes amends

Really what is there to fight about
The singer is questioning what the couple could be arguing about

What's another coat of fur
The singer is implying that the fight might be over something trivial

Ya really gotta feel for her
The singer seems to empathize with one of the people in the couple

Yeah, some kids got shot on the Two Train
An incident where children were shot on a train is mentioned

But that's half a world away
The train incident happened far from the singer's current location

That'll teach those other youngsters
The incident might serve as a lesson for other young people

With their noisey arcade games
The youngsters might be playing loud video games in public

Don't ya bother me for change
The singer doesn't want to be approached by anyone asking for money

They got preacher on the corner
There's a religious preacher on the street corner

They got hustlers on the bus
The singer mentions that people trying to scam or deceive others can be found on public transportation

That don't leave much room for us
The presence of preachers and hustlers makes it difficult for regular people to navigate the city

Then the hookers took the theatres
Prostitutes or sex workers started occupying theaters in the city

They got a different kinda show
The theaters have now turned into places for sex work instead of entertainment

Man you really oughtta go
Despite the transformation of the theaters, the singer suggests that someone should visit them

Trades say Lorne is back at Eight-H
There are rumors about someone named Lorne returning to a location called Eight-H

Chevy's a movie man for hire
Someone named Chevy is available for hire to work on films

And at least we're rid of Piscopo
The singer seems glad that someone named Piscopo is no longer around

That Sinatra bit was tired
The singer didn't like a particular bit or joke that involved Sinatra

And Billy Martin's just been fired
Billy Martin has recently been fired from a job or position

The scoundrels down on Wall Street
The singer is referring to people he believes are dishonest or deceitful that work on Wall street

Dressing up like fatty cats
These people are pretending to be wealthy and successful

Turn their nose at the ratty packs
These people look down on those who are less fortunate or poor

If greed is good is good for me
The singer is suggesting that he benefits from greed

Then who am I to say
The singer doesn't feel as though he can judge the greedy people

I'll let em tuck my dough away
The singer might let the greedy people take his money

There's some dope sick ballerinas
Ballroom dancers who are sick in some way are mentioned

Talking circles with their friends
These dancers are having conversations with one another

They just escaped from Julliard
The dancers might have run away or left a prestigious school called Julliard

They're gonna pirouette and then
The dancers will perform a spin move called a pirouette

They'll dance their way down Broadway
The dancers will travel along the famous Broadway street while dancing

But I cannot tell you when
The singer doesn't know when this will happen

No there's no telling when
It's impossible to know when this will happen
