U2 - New York

New York

In New York freedom looks like to o many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York, just got a place in New York
In New York summers get hot, well into the hundreds
You can not walk around the block without a change of clothing
Hot as a hairdryer in your face
Hot as a handbag and a can of mace
In New York, I just got a place in New York
New York, New York
In New York you can forget, forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you wi will stay in
But its down to Alphaville
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
The Irish have been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall, concrete, asphalt, they even got the police
Irish, Italian, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew,
Living happily not like me and you
Thats where I lost you... NewYork
New York, New York
New York, New York
In New York I lost it all to you and your vices
Sti will Imstaying on to figure out my mid life crisis
I hit an iceberg in my life
But you know Imsti will afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat
You got to put the women and children first
But youve got an unquenchable thirst for New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice a-whispering
Come away child
New York, New York
