Jason Myles Goss New York City song lyrics

To the queen of the avenue, to every daughter of the dark

For the lost and the lonely kissing strangers in the park

You left your heart in this city

You traced your name with a mascara pen

With your wrecking ball hands and your wrecking ball mind

To every wreck waltzing slow in a place hard to find

Where the drinks are expensive

But the company is always cheap

For every basket case lost in the crowd

Who knew that loneliness could ever be so loud

Where every face is fleeced with the lost and deceased

Won't you sing me to sleep in New York City

You hide your secrets and your sadness in the corners of your mouth

And like a love seat on a sidewalk with its guts busted out,

You're just one more relic lost and forgotten at the bottom of the pile

You run from every shadow and you hide from every lamp

You're a gossip and a liar, You're a hero and a tramp

You're just one more ragged heart that never ever wants to grow old

For every poet, politician, and thief

Who leaves you hanging on by the skin of your teeth

Where every dream will die, and only children ask why

Won't you kiss me goodbye in New York City

You're a story we all hide in

Like a spark inside a diamond

Born out of pressure and heat

Down some dark and dirty street

You're a dream I never had

You're a love I'll never know

Don't the streets look bright across the river tonight

Won't you please hold me tight in New York City

New York City

New York City

New York City
