Song Title :
New York Lyrics
Complete Album Lyrics:
All that you can t leave behind
In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices through the hard sell
Voices down a stairwell
In New York
Just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
New York
I just got a place in New York
New York
New York
In New York you can forget,
forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in,
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete,
asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics, religious
nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Living happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you
New York
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
New York
In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure
out my midlife crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
but you know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance,
lose your wife in the queue for the lifeboat
You gotta put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable
thirst for New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
In the stillness of the evening,
when the sun has had its day
I heard your voice whispering, come away now
New York
New, New York, New York.
