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 of the hard sell Voices down the stairwell In New York Just got a place in New York In new York summers get hot Well into the hundreds You cant 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 In 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 But its down to Alphaville 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 ,Italian ,Jews and Hispanics Religious nuts ,political fanatics in the stew Living happily not like me and you Thats where lost you...New York In New York I lost it all to you and your vices Still I am staying on to figure out my mid life crisis I hit an iceberg in my life But you know I am still afloat You lose your balance ,lose you wife In the queue for the lifeboat You got to put the women and children first But youve got an unquenchable thirst for New York In the stillness of every evening When the sun has had its day I heard your voice a whispering come away child New York , New York........
