John Waite - NYC Girl Lyrics
There's diamonds in the avenueAs the dayshift turns to nightIn the Empire diner dreamingHard rain, fluorescent lightsAs the waitress fills my coffee cupAnd the working girls go byDrenched Irish cops are dreaming sexAnd peep show alibisEverything underneath the skylineFrom the east side to the westI see the miracle in real timeAnd there's one I've loved the bestSee there's an angel on the D trainAs she's flying to my worldAnd I'm wiating for a New York City girlTimes Square looks like AvalonIn a Disney morphine dreamDylan Thomas rides a white horse drunkAt the counter next to meI wake up in the bed sometimesAnd watch her as she sleepsIn the silence and the sirensI pray her soul to keepChorusThe catherine wheel burns bright tonightDown on the avenueBut nowhere near as bright, my loveAs the fire that burns for youEverything underneath the skylineFrom the east side to the westOf the lives I've lived and those I've knownThere is one I've loved the bestSee there's an angel on the D trainAs she's flying to my worldAnd I'm wiating for a New York City girlAnd I'm wiating for a New York City girl
