Bad New York City

I used to think that I could settle around
I used to wait to be a star
But then I open up my eyes and found
It's very hard there where they are
I used to wish upon uncertainty
Hoping there would be my name
Then when I searched there's no more hurry in me
Building bridges was my game
And I'll carry on
To the lonely one
Love was to blame
Bad New York city
Let me down under the bridge of time
I'm slowly drown
Paralyzed by modesty
And crippled with reality
Sad New York city
Hear my plea
Turn back the sands of cruel destiny
Turn down complete
And gently lay me down to sleep
My life was full of so much purity
And every day I lived was real
But deep inside I found security
Like a gambler when he wins a deal
And I'll carry on
To the lonely one
Love is to blame
Bad New York city
Let me down under the bridge of time
I'm slowly drown
Paralyzed by modesty
And crippled with reality
Sad New York city
Hear my plea
Turn back the sands of cruel destiny
Turn down complete
And gently lay me down to sleep
Bad New York city
Let me down under the bridge of time
I'm slowly drown
Paralyzed by modesty
And crippled with reality
Sad New York city
Hear my plea
Turn back the sands of cruel destiny
Turn down complete
And gently lay me down
Bad New York city
Let me down under the bridge of time
I'm slowly drown
Paralyzed by modesty
And crippled with reality
Sad New York city
Hear my plea
Turn back the sands of cruel destiny
Turn down complete
And gently lay me down
Bad New York city
Let me down under the bridge of time
I'm slowly drown
Paralyzed by modesty
And crippled with reality
Sad New York city
Hear my plea
Turn back the sands of cruel destiny
Turn down complete
And gently
