In this town I am not afraid It’s like home we’re here to stay You find out something in these altered states (When you’re lit by the lights of New York) Your willingness to perform
As bridges stand against the tide Satellites move across the sky In all the years that I have seen you rise You never looked so supreme When you’re lit by the lights of New York When you’re lit by the lights of New York
Summer is hot, weekends away But some have to stay, shelter away Where the blooms gather dust, and the grease covered up Just waiting for now, the sprinklers are out The children allowed to scream and to shout
