lyrics
NEW YORK (GOLDFISH BREATH)
Lyrics By Patrick Porter C.2012
So here I am in New York
Shadowing pavement in New York
Pushing my waves out in New York
Breaking my hayseeds in New York
Dames and damsels in New York
Games and gambles in New York
Over-leaden pencils in New York
Silver utensils in New York
I don't want American History
All I want is New York, New York
And I'm in New York
Hey, look at me, I'm in New York
I love the sky in New York
I love the sun on the bricks in New York
I love the Monet light in New York
I love the fire hydrants in New York
I love how everyone's mad in New York
I love how everyone's crazy in New York
I even love the Price Chopper in New York
Electric billboards in New York
I don't want American History
All I want is New York, New York
And I'm in New York
Hey, look at me, I'm in New York
I know all the ghosts here in New York
I talk to the buildings in New York
I fly all the airplanes in New York
I drink the bodegas in New York
I raise all the churches in New York
I cross all the bridges in New York
I'm making a bed here in New York
And I'm never leaving New York
I don't want American History
All I want is New York, New York
And I'm in New York
Hey, look at me, I'm in New York
