City Junkies

When I was a young man long ago
I fell in love so hard you know
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
New York City took my love away
Yes it did
Chances are we're better off you know
This guitar man's life goes on the show
She was strong, she was pretty
Such a pity
City junkies cannot taste the day
So the sunken people waste away
She was strong, she was pretty
Yes she was
New York City took my love away
