Lyrics
NYC
VERSE 1:
Take the backseat in the taxi
With my girl downtown
Cross the avenue over to her place and
Switchback, switchback ? they?re all around
Lights up on Broadway guide me to where
I?m going tonight
In the morning I?ll find my way back
Way back, by the morning light
CHORUS 1:
I?m in New York City
Moving and alive
I?m in New York City
The World is mine
VERSE 2:
Cigarettes burning in my mind
Thoughts of yesterday?s find
Two girls calling my name
I turn away
Don?t turn away completely insane
Don?t get up saying I?m wrong
For sayin? the things I see and feel
You?d do it too,
In New York City
CHORUS 2:
I?m in New York City
Moving and alive
I?m in New York City
The World is mine
BRIDGE:
Take me with you, I want to see the dreamlight
Take me with you, I want to feel alright
CHORUS OUT:
I?m in New York City
Moving and alive
I?m in New York City
The World is mine
