D-DU-UDU
in new york freedom looks like too many choices
in new york i found a friend
to drown out the other voices
voices on the cell phone voices from home
voices through the hard sell
voices down a stairwell in new york
just got a place in new york
in new york summers get hot
well into the hundreds
you can't walk around the block
without a change of clothing
hot as a hair dryer 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) new york
in new york you can forget
forget how to sit still
tell yourself you will stay in
but it's down to alphaville
new york new york, new york
new york, new york
new york, a-ooo
the irish 'been coming here for years
feel like they own the place
they got the airport, city hall, asphalt, dance floor
they even got the police
irish, italians, jews and hispanics
religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
(living) happily not like me and you
that's where i lost you
in new york new york, new york
in new york new york, new york
new york, a-ooo-oo-oo-ooo
new york, a-ooo - ooo - ooo-oo-ooo
in new york i lost it all to you and your vices
still i'm staying on to figure out my mid-life crisis
i hit an iceberg in my life, you know i'm still afloat
you lose your balance, lose your wife
in the queue for the lifeboat
you've got to put the women and children first
but you've got an unquenchable thirst for
new york new york
new york new york, new york
in the stillness of the evening
when the sun has had its day
i heard your voice a-whispering
come away now
new new york, new-ooo-ooo
new york, a-ooo-o-o-ooo
new york
