Lyrics[]

[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Finally I'm right where I should be.
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot,
You hit the station, go insane, and when the kick-drum drops
You know, now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1]
Called you up so we could reminisce
About the old days, gold days,
How we've been.
The city's rusty after what we did.
We did, we did, we did.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, and though I know it's been a long time in the records,
But I saw you smiling like dynamite in the record store,
And now I'm shaking (shaking)
Waiting (waiting)
As you come say hello (hello, hello, hello, hello)

[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Finally I'm right where I should be.
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot,
You hit the station, go insane, and when the kick-drum drops
You know, now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Every time I get the urge to go,
I'm the king of the island on a rusty throne.
Who the f**k wants to rule, ruling all alone, alone, alone, alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, and though I know it's been a long time in the records,
But I saw you smiling like dynamite in the record store,
And now I'm hoping (hoping)
Wishing (wishing)
As I walk you to your door (your door, your door, your door, your door)

[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Finally I'm right where I should be.
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot,
You hit the station, go insane, and when the kick-drum drops
You know, now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]
And when the weekend comes around,
Make our way through rusty towns.
Lift the weight up off your back,
You're with me, love, just relax.

[Chorus]
Now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Finally I'm right where I should be.
Like when you grow up doing donuts in the parking lot,
You hit the station, go insane, and when the kick-drum drops
You know, now I'm feeling just like Woody Allen.
Oh-oh-oh
