The quotidian aches and pains
C#m7b5 G#M7
Of being a being
G# A#m7 C#M7
All the small nothings, they're something;
C#m7b5 G#M7
The bric-a-brac euphoria

"Every problem's not mine to solve."

Ruth built a shrine to all

The passers-by, the banal

Ginger fears death

Ginger's a bored one

Well, back in New York where the fun's at

Waiting at the train tracks
G# A#m7 C#M7
Ginger is arguing in her head
C#m7b5 G#M7
With her boss - some bullshit hen
G# A#m7 Cm7
Well, Ruth, she walks down the platform

She says it's good to be back

In the city - the big brick hive
