You see the window open wide and then you think
«What kinds of things could I obtain outside this screen?»
You see the hill as it stretches beyond view
On the other side, they’re waiting just for you
Do you see?
Take the stairs down throught the iron gate
Climb the street until your legs begin to shake
You meet some friends, you meet some girls, you meet some boys
You hear the cars, you hear the shining headlight noise
'Cause it’s New York
Ah, New York
Electric lights
We’re children in the night
Oh, New York
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah New York
Oh, New York
All of a sudden all your fun faces a threat
Who are these people? Is it your soul, they’re out to get?
You reach inside your pocket looking for a hole
You reach inside but all your fingers they turn cold
In New York
Ah, New York
Electric lights
We’re all children in the night
Oh, New York
Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah New York
Oh, New York
What’ll be? What’s on the menu for tonight?
Which is the magic that’ll make you feel just right?
Is it your love? Is it your heart that’s in your hands?
Electric eyes become the sunlight in your land
In New York
New York
Ah, New York
Nah-nah-nah-nah nah New York
Oh, wow
How does it feel when you begin to understand?
What does it look like when a boy turns into a man?
New York
