Goodnight New York

Morning comes crashing like a rock through a window
Jackhammer banging on the hot concrete
Take your stand (hey!)
Move it, man!
It’s a backtalk, sidewalk symphony
Uber cars, yellow cabs, thick as smoke
Painted girls and would leave you broke
Sax man blowing shooting through my veins
There’s a rhythm to the rocket that’s intoxicating
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don’t ever close your eyes
If these streets could talk, «New York, New York»
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York
Goodnight
Starbucks, FedEx trucks on every street and avenue
Broadway lights, shining bright, make everybody beautiful
Walking on the high line, reaching for the sky line
If Alexander Hamilton could see it all
Garbage trucks backing up, beep, beep, beep
Dogs barking on the balcony, the kids can’t sleep
Scaffolds, pot holes, bagman’s on a bicycle
Fast trains, bus, planes, welcome to the carnival
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don’t ever close your eyes
If these streets could talk, «New York, New York»
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York
Goodnight
The bravest and the finest
My hand’s on my heart for you
To the ones who paid the price
And to those who saw us through
It’s late, I’m getting weary
So for now, I’ll say
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don’t ever close your eyes
If these streets could talk, «New York, New York»
So fine they named you twice
Goodnight New York, goodnight
Don’t ever close your eyes
If these streets could talk, «New York, New York»
So fine they named you twice
Your face, your brains, no other place
From east to west, these streets are blessed
Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York
Goodnight
Ah, goodnight New York
Sleep tight New York
Goodnight
So goodnight New York
Sleep tight New York
Goodnight
