New York
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 didn't get no sleep last night
Had a drink and I got uptight
I fell over
When the sun comes in inside
When the tide comes in I'm alive
I'm all over
So move over
Here I come New York
New York, you're gaining on me
New York, you're just that one step far away
But I'm here to stay
New York, you're (stop) gaining on me
New York, you're just that one step far away
But I'm here to stay
You can't catch me New York
