WALKING THROUGH NEW YORK
In the early hours
First thing in the morning
Before the hassle begins
Thought I was walking through New York
The way the sun was this morning
The whole street was burning white
Though I was walking with you
The way the sun was this morning
The whole street was burning
Later at my apartment
Try to put a record on
Ten songs and I can't find one
The beat's too fast
The lyrics aren't right
To catch the way I feel tonight
In the early hours
First thing in the morning
Before the hassle begins
Thought I was walking with you
Thought I saw a dog with a bright blonde wig
Running down a sidewalk
I had to stop to take a look
It's just a toy being pulled by a man
who looks like a boy with a long moustache
I stop to ask
Excuse me what's it's name
He says - it's just pretend not man's best friend
And it's getting a little bit spoiled
'Cause it's raining
It's always raining
Thought I was walking through New York
The way the sun was this morning
The whole street was burning white
You find me driving
Rain glistening on a sidewalk
Neon lights in the window pane
Soft sound of rain
A woman with a pram and a man
With dark glasses on
How can he see a thing this evening
It's getting dark
Thought I was walking through new york
The way the sun was this morning
The whole street was burning white
There's a million things going on
Go on and pick one
The sirens go all night
The sirens go all night
The sirens go all night
The sirens go all night
The sirens go all night
The sirens go all night
Sirens go all night
All night
In the early hours before the hassle begins.
