They Might Be Giants - New York City Lyrics
You called me last night on the telephoneAnd I was glad to hear from you cause I was all aloneYou said, its snowing, its snowing! god, I hate this weather.Now I walk through blizzards just to get us back togetherWe met in the springtime at a rock-and-roll showIt was on the bowery when it was time to goWe kissed on the subway in the middle of the nightI held your hand, you held mine, it was the best night of my life.cause everyones your friend in new york cityAnd everything looks beautiful when youre young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and theres just so much to seeBut the best thing about new york city is you and meStatue of liberty, staten island ferry, co-op city, katzs and tiffanys*Central park, brooklyn bridge, the empire state where dylan lived**Coney island and times square, rockefeller centerWish I was thereYou wrote me a letter just the other daySaid, springtime is coming soon so why dont you come to stay.I packed my stuff, got on the bus, I cant believe its trueIm three days from new york city and Im three days from youcause everyones my friend in new york cityAnd everything looks beautiful when youre young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and theres just so much to seeBut the best thing about new york city is you and mecause everyones my friend in new york cityAnd everything looks beautiful when youre young and prettyThe streets are paved with diamonds and theres just so much to seeBut the best thing about new york city is you and me.
