Lyrics for New York, New York

Concrete Island brightly lit In the neon midnight sun Seething with the smell of life and death Ooh, the city runs Around the clock, around again The day is never done Roaches in the woodwork And madmen on the run New York, New York Fantasies and dreams New York, New York Concrete realities New York, New York A balance of extremes New York, New York I'll feed your vanities Violence, a way of life And life, a way of death Scream is saved for laughter And laughter's saved for breath The hounds of anxiety Chase themselves in vain The foxes of experience Look on the news and say New York, New York Fantasies and dreams New York, New York Concrete realities New York, New York A balance of extremes New York, New York I'll feed your vanities New York, New York Fantasies and dreams New York, New York Concrete realities New York, New York A balance of extremes New York, New York I'll feed your vanities New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York
