| Close to the edge, I’m like a bomb ticking slowly
|
| Just don’t push me if you know what’s good for you
|
| I’m not that holy
|
| I’m an island, I’m a rock
|
| On an island made of rock
|
| Concrete flowers, falling towers
|
| To tell the time, who needs a watch?
|
| Ain’t that just like New York?
|
| Ain’t that just like TV?
|
| There’s nothin' like New York
|
| Don’t you believe what you see
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| I got this love for New York, New York
|
| I think it’s more than she knows
|
| I said goodbye to New York, New York
|
| But my heart won’t let her go
|
| I’ve seen a few things, I’ve seen fire, I’ve seen rain
|
| What I haven’t seen is sunshine
|
| Through my window, shades of grey
|
| Baby’s crying, Mommy’s trying, her very best to make ends meet
|
| Daddy’s spot is on the corner, made at least 3 G’s last week
|
| Ain’t that just like New York?
|
| Ain’t that just like TV?
|
| There’s nothin' like New York
|
| Don’t you believe what you see
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| I got this love for New York, New York
|
| I think it’s more than she knows
|
| I said goodbye to New York, New York
|
| But my heart won’t let her go
|
| Still waters run deep on the corners of Wall Street
|
| Too many cooks in the kitchen, no shepherds for the sheep
|
| Only lawyers and doctors, like gangsters and mobsters
|
| The ground ain’t safe anymore, we need police helicopters
|
| It’s like a jungle sometimes, I gotta suit up in camouflage
|
| Or blend with the Philistines, and swing a sling on the boulevard
|
| Nikes, Converse, Pumas, Adidas
|
| Everybody’s moving fast, but they ain’t running to Jesus
|
| They want blood, watch the spillage
|
| Wanna conquer and pillage
|
| Pillars of Salt, don’t look back in the village
|
| Ain’t that just like New York?
|
| Ain’t that just like TV?
|
| There’s nothin' like New York
|
| Don’t you believe what you see
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| It gets so crazy (It gets so crazy)
|
| It gets so crazy sometimes (It gets so crazy sometimes)
|
| I got this love for New York, New York
|
| I think it’s more than she knows
|
| I said goodbye to New York, New York
|
| But my heart won’t let her go |
