Bono - New York lyrics
rate meIn New York freedom looks like many choices<br />
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices<br />
Voices in the cell phone<br />
Voices from home<br />
Voices of the hard sell<br />
Voices down the stairwell<br />
In New York, just got a place in New York<br />
<br />
In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds<br />
You can´t walk around the block without a cange of clothin´<br />
Hot as a dryer in your face<br />
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace<br />
In New York, I just got a place in New York<br />
(New York,New York, New York)<br />
<br />
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still<br />
Tell yourself you will stay in<br />
But it´s down to Alphaville<br />
<br />
New York, New York, New York<br />
New York, New York, New York<br />
<br />
The Irish have been coming here for years<br />
Feel like they own the place<br />
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt<br />
They even got the police<br />
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanic<br />
Religius nuts, political fanatics in the stew<br />
Livin´happily not like me and you<br />
That´s where I lost you... New York<br />
<br />
New York, New York, New York<br />
New York, New York, New York<br />
<br />
In New York I lost it all <br />
To you and your vices<br />
Still I´m stayin´on to figure out my mid life crisis<br />
I hit an iceberg in my life<br />
But you know I´m still afloat<br />
You lose your balance, you lose your wife<br />
in the queue for the lifeboat<br />
<br />
You got to put the woman and children first<br />
But you´ve got an unquenchable thirst for New York<br />
<br />
In the stillness of the evening <br />
When the sun has had its day<br />
I heard your voice a-whispering<br />
Come away Child<br />
<br />
New York, New York
