New York City

New York City gripped me like a big old machine

I went into one side and landed in a dream

It stirred me up, and made me shout

And sometimes I forgot about

The way the wind blows in and out of cottonwood trees

And oh, its easy to lose your mind

I might've lost mine if I hadnt found you

The avenues, the boulevards, the businesses and schoolyards

Shopping malls and motorcars, all in one scene

The lowest lows and the highest highs

The meanest noise and the lullabies

The poison and the compromise

The unspoken scream

And oh, its so hard to find your place

And I'd never have found mine if I hadn't seen your face

And you can be my Buster Keaton, I'll be Blossom Dearie

We can see the world so clearly

You'll cover the gray away 'n I will sing you songs all day

The decay will just turn to bloom as we look at the good old-fashioned moon

Well, New York City split me like a log in a mill

Half of me happy, the other half I'll

But I feel myself a-warming to the old neon chill

I still feel a longing, but its chased by a thrill

And oh, it's so hard to find your place

I'd never have found mine, if I hadn't seen your face

And you can be my Buster Keaton, ill be Blossom Dearie

We can see the world so clearly

You'll cover the gray away 'n I will sing you songs all day

The decay will just turn to bloom as we look at the good old-fashioned moon
