There's an air-suspended bridge
The heart that reaches the throat and
The taste of bagel and hazelnut life that comes by here
A caterpillar crosses the apple
There's Baker that plays in the headphones
It's been hardly half an hour
The line doesn't come by here
Feet don't hurt anymore and
They have been chasing after themselves for hours now
Hands reminisce about the sun
If I had brought you this far
New York New York
Tonight catch me by surprise
From the thousand lies from the usual stories
I beg you hide me
There's a man suspended in the middle
He picks up reflections of then eh
On magic mirrors there's still the life that comes by here
Streets which can smoke and
Everything has been alright up to now she says
It doesn't seem like that but there's the sea
If I had forgotten you here too
New York New York
It's time to get to know each other
Give me back the stories the old songs
I beg you persuade me
New York New York
Tonight catch me by surprise
gingergeneration
From the thousand lies from the usual stories
I beg you hide me
Give me back the will to go
To escape to return to stay
From streets which can smoke
I've learnt to fly from Sergio Leone
I have memories of a wall on the sea
Or of people sent back to the sender
If once upon a time there was America
Now there's a man
who doesn't dream about anything
New York New York
It's time to get to know me
Give me back the stories
The old songs
I beg you persuade me
New York New York
Feel the wind blowing eastward
Like rays of the rising sun
New York New York
Open all the doors and windows
Let him come in like you've always done
New York New York
And insomnia to wake up slowly
To feel how the world's close
But if once upon a time there was America now there's only a faraway mirage
