Lyrics
GOODNIGHT NY
written and performed by Jesse Dyen
c 2003 Dyenada All Rights Preserved
No subway
No cell phone
No traffic lights
It?s quiet
In Brooklyn
This August night
I found my
Transistor radio for sure
No inbound
No downtown
Goodnight New York
I met three
New neighbors
On Carroll Street
We emptied out our freezers
And swapped batteries
No noise pollution
And no looting on the street
I walked from
Penn Station
Didn?t miss a beat
We?re Ready
Whatever else should come ashore
Opened up all my windows
Goodnight New York
Turn on the lights
I heard all of the sirens
And went outside
One unattended candle
One person died
We?re ready
Whatever else should come ashore
I?m counting all my blessings
Goodnight New York
I?m counting all my blessings
Goodnight New York
Turn on the lights (goodnight NY)..
