Settle New York, Settle

New York was a blur, her face is flushed
As if a bitter cold Brooklyn shook it out as if it touched
She says, I used to sleep without a stir
But these nights I toss and turn
While everything I love is caught between, caught between
So settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it’s lost on you, settle into
New York was a blur, the streets ran wild
With the lights and sounds for youth on trial
The air is crisp with smoke as we tread the streets alone
Slipping in and out of bars as we battle our way home
So settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it’s lost on you, I’m settling into something I should do
Come on ma’am, please see me off
I depart at quarter to, you’ve only lost
A couple of minutes of the time we’ve left
Chase that lush with a drink, she says
I have got bigger problems than this
It was that faith that I could find us a home
But I’m damn sure this cities swallowed me whole
Settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it’s lost on you, I’m settling into something I should do
Come on ma’am, please see me off
I depart at quarter to, you’ve only lost
A couple of minutes of the time we’ve left
New York was a blur, the colors flushed
As if a bitter cold Brooklyn shook it out as if it touched
She says, I used to sleep without a stir
But these nights I toss and turn
caught between, caught between
