New York City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
J'suis né à New York City
Dans un block au bout du Bronx
Au milieu des graffitis
Des filles et des Honky-Tonks
Chiffonnier, flic ou tailleur
Catcheur qu'on paie pour tomber
Chicano, Goldwin-Mayer
Ton film est un série B
À New York City
Des types s'en tirent dans la boxe
D'autres en grattant des guitares
Y en a deux dans les juke-boxes
La plupart sur les trottoirs
Les filles, elles, montent à Harlem
Dieu sait à quel poker elles jouent
Faudrait venir de Bethléem
Pour tendre l'autre joue
À New York City
Puis il arrive qu'on ramasse
Le long de la Bowery
Une bouteille de Dylan Thomas
Ou de Malcolm Lowry
On est l'homme de toutes les saisons
De toutes les lignes de départ
Mais c'est pas parce qu'on a dix maisons
Qu'on est chez soi quelque part
À New York City
Dix dollars, c'est si facile
Suffit de vouloir les faire
Roméo rentre en Sicile
Juliette finit en Enfer
Moi, quand j'aurai dépensé
Mon dernier tour d'manège
Je voudrais bien balancer
Ma dernière boule de neige
À New York City
