Song of The Day

[Tenbatsuzen]

In New York freedom looks like
Too many choices
In New York I found a friend
To drown out the other voices


Voices on a cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down a stairwell
In New York
Just got a place in New York


In New York summers get hot
Well into the hundreds
You can't walk around the block
Without a change of clothing


Hot as a hair dryer in your face
Hot as handbag and a can of mace
New York
I just got a place in New York


New York New York

In New York you can forget
Forget how to sit still
Tell yourself you will stay in
But it's down to Alphaville


New York
New York, New York


New York, New York
New York


The Irish been coming here for years
Feel like they own the place
They got the airport, city hall
Asphalt, asphalt
They even got the police


Irish, Italians, Jews and Hispanics
Religious nuts, political fanatics in the stew
Happily not like me and you
That's where I lost you


New York
New York, New York
New York
New York, New York


New York
New York


In New York I lost it all
To you and your vices
Still I'm staying on to figure out
My midlife crisis


I hit an iceberg in my life
You know I'm still afloat
You lose your balance, lose your wife
In the queue for the lifeboat


You got to put the women and children first
But you've got an unquenchable thirst for New York


New York
New York
New York, New York


In the stillness of the evening
When the sun has had its day
I heard your voice whispering
Come away now


New, New York
New...
New York


New York

[Tenbatsuzen]

Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
To the hours and minutes tickin' away
Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
While it was all just slippin' away
I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
For a woman I can call my friend

These are better days baby
Yeah there's better days shining through
These are better days baby
Better days with a girl like you

Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
It's a sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
A rich man in a poor man's shirt
Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
Your heart like a diamond shone
Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
Out of these hard luck bones

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
There's better days shining through

Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
Don't make much for tragedy
But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
And can't stand the company
Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
And turning his heart to stone
Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
And I feel like I'm comin' home

These are better days baby
There's better days shining through
These are better days
Better days with a girl like you

These are better days baby
These are better days it's true
These are better days
Better days are shining through
