New York City Lyrics - Singles - Horse The Band

Waking up in New York City 

Dreaming about how it all began 

Bright lights, big city 

New Amsterdam and the Indians 

You called me in tears 

And it looks like rain 

I walk south 

Through our playground 

Civilization's honeycomb 

Taxi, taxi, taxi 

Warm and pungent seats 

Take me across the bridge 

I can't be late 

I'm heavy with you 

Through cold morning avenues 

Rushing with the rabble 

Under gluttonous swelling skies 

I'll come to you 

Over clandestine sidewalks 

I'll come to you 

Crashing through dead leaves 

Crashing, I'll come to you 

And the cracks in the sidewalks 

I'll come to you, crashing 

Well, and the crosswalk says stop 

Yet there you are 

Trust the flicker of a picture 

Between the static of cars 

And it's a relief 

That these walls are so high 

Like arms that hold us together 

Waiting for a green light 

Go, go, go, stop 

Go, go, go, stop 

We embrace in the heart of our city 

On wet broken sidewalks we're free
