thought i was saved down in new orleans
til i picked up a quarter for 1979
stuck it in the back pocket of these jeans

worn in boyfriend button down levis
in a saints town i can't seem to figure out
how to get around that i ain't movin' on
threw the quarter in an old street case
and i'll be damned he started playing our song

six degrees of separation
we're all over this damnation
well im out of your reach geographically
but you still find a way to get ahold of me
and its six degrees of separation
whoaa
whoaa
whoaa
whoaa

hailed a cab up in NYC
saw an ad for a litigation lawyer on a bus stop bench
sittin' waitin' for the red light to turn green
smoke breakers flirtin' on the steps of mryl lynch
hit the roosevelt took it to the 12
got a funny feeling as i put my key in the door
never seen the likes of these city lights
i swear to god well i been here before

six degrees of separation
we're all over this damnation
well im out of your reach geographically
but you still find a way to get ahold of me
well its six degrees of separation
whoaa
whoaa
whoaa
whoaa

well its six degrees of separation
yeah its six degrees of separation

thought that i was safe down in new orleans
til i picked up a quarter from 1979
