Lyrics
NYC
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.
I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
The pavements, they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed
But New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)
The subway she is a porno
And the pavements, they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow I'm not impressed
It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights
Oh, it's up to me now, turn on the bright lights
New York cares
(Got to be some more change in my life)
It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights
(Got to be some more change in my life)
(Got to be some more change in my life)
