Lyrics for Optimist

Waiting, but I don't mind I'm all bus stops and heat I'm neon, in your daylight I'm the optimist of 30th Street How it is is how it oughta be I got anything but moneyed esteem Drinks on Condé Nast I'm the optimist of 30th Street How it is is how it oughta be I spy on the Up-Upper East There's no reason to be upset There's no reason to not expect There's no room for emptiness No tea or sympathy There's no room for emptiness On a never-empty street
