Cat Power - New York lyrics

rate me

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

I want to be a part of it

New York, New York

These vagabond shoes

Are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

These little town blues

Are melting a way

I'll make a brand-new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York

New York, New York

I want to wake up

In a city that never sleeps

And find I'm a number one, top of the list

King of the hill, a number one

These little town blues

Are melting a way

I'm gonna make a brand-new start of it

In old New York

And... if I can make it there

I'm gonna make it anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York
