New York, New York, New York
New York
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
Flinch at your name
New York, New York, New York
Never the same
It was a long way for New Amsterdam
But we remember you
The wall came down and garbage became new land
A fire curtain burnt all the proof
And we all hear these nightmare stories made of lies
I bet they do not sleep at night
New York, New York, New York
Sing out your name
New York, New York, New York
Won't fall again
New York, New York, New York
Never the same
New York, New York, New York
But I remain
You're a bright place and
You reached for stars and I watch you grow
The new face makes you look now
Really old
Concrete to dust and breathing rust
And we saw men falling from the sky
I bet they do not sleep at night
Sing out your name
New York, New York, New York
Sing out your name
New York, New York, New York
Won't fall again
New York, New York, New York
Never the same
New York, New York, New York
But I remain
With your broken heart and your stolen sound
You've cried all night and screamed so loud
We know what they don't know
We know what they don't know
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
New York, New York, New York
Sing out your name
New York, New York, New York
Back home again
New York, New York, New York
Never the same
New York, New York, New York
But I remain
New York, New York, New York
