NYC Girl

There's diamonds in the avenue

As the dayshift turns to night

In the empire dinner dreaming

Hard rain, fluorescent lights

And the waitress fills my coffee cup

As the working girls go by

Drenched Irish cops are dreaming sex

And peep show alibis

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

I see the miracles in real time

And there's one I've loved the best

I see there's an angel on the D train

And she's flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a, a New York City girl

Times Square looks like Avalon

In a Disney Morphine dream

Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk

At the counter next to me

I wake up in her bed sometimes

And watch her as she sleeps

In the silence and the sirens

I pray her soul to keep

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

I see the miracles in real time

And there's one I've loved the best

See there's an angel on the D train

And she's flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a New York City girl

The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight

Down on the avenue

But nowhere near as bright, my love

As the fire that burns for you

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

Of the lives I've lived and those I've known

There is one I've loved the best

See there's an angel on the D train

And she's flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a New York City girl

Oh yeah, and I'm waiting for a New York City girl

I'm waiting now

New York City girl

Oh yeah, I'm waiting for

New York City girl

Oh, yeah, yeah

New York City girl
