New York

[Verse 1]
Was New York alight?
Did the building shine
In our eyes, or just mine?
Were we there any of the time?

[Verse 2]
Did we climb the Empire
Asking "Can we get higher?"
Or did the drink help me think
And build it all brick by brick?

[Chorus 1]
How can I ever believe
After I've been deceived?
Open it all up to me
Will I ever trust another
Or is this for good?

[Verse 3]
Did we find the Guggenheim
And get in for a dime?
Or was it all on the walls of my mind
Like forgeries no artist will sign?

[Chorus 2]
How can I ever believe
After I've been deceived?
Open it all up to me
Will I ever love another
Or is this for good?

[Verse 1]
Was New York alight?
Did the building shine
In our eyes, or just mine?
Were we there any of the time?
