One day, I'll go to New York with you
Fooling around every night
And not seeing a full movie, obviously
Having a shared, slashed life
Soothed by the A.C. whirring
Sleeping in a shitty hotel
Hanging out in gay spots and see their bodies close up
Seeing their heart bleed out
Yes, bleed out
[Chorus]
I'll go there one day
Cat one day, rat another
See if the heart of the city beats in you
And you'll take me with you
Take me there
One day, I'll have New York at the tip of my fingers
We'll play there, you'll see
It's dark in clubs but not cold
It's not cold if you believe it
And I do !
The paint puddles on the wall sometimes have
The color of the sounds you're drinking
And, it's so big that we'll soon forget
That nowhere is home, mine, yours,
Ours !
[Chorus]
Take me there, lead me (2x)
Touch this, touch that
See if the heart of the city beats in you
And you'll take me with you
Take me there !
