Lyrics
NYC
You got a Connecticut DJ into reincarnation,
could have been in Nam is his friend’s estimation
and Christ of Brooklyn he will stand his ground
he gets to the end of the bridge and he just turns around
and in the subway a bereted tortures a sorry song
as you just ride the A all night long
if you wanna
but you can’t dance in New York City x4
you can be blown away at Grand Central Station
even the sandwiches there make good conversation
have a martini at your standard place
the drinks are so good you won’t recognise a famous face
but its hard to walk in the snow and retain your dignity
so you just jump on the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty
and she’s laughing, she knows you’re not really free
cause you can’t dance in New York City x4
you can’t dance in Brooklyn,
you can’t dance in Queens
you can’t dance in Manhattan,
well not where I’ve been
you cannot dance at CBGBs or the Knitting Factory
you can’t dance anywhere in New York City
it’s the city of Andy, Frank, and Lou
see the place where Iggy smashed in guitar in two
go to the park and leave a pick for John
yeah, the scenes like the skyline go on and on
and there’s no way you could ever soak it all up
but its still so hard to find a good cup
so have a bagel, the way they’re meant to be
but you can’t dance in New York City…
