One Day You’ll Dance For Me, New York City

[Intro]
Dazed and confused
I am battered and bruised
Came with a dream
Shared by more than a few it seems
To lay the city at my feet

[Verse 1]
Where the streets never empty and the bars never close
The people are busy and I'm so far from home
Now I'm wide awake in Brooklyn and I miss my mothers cooking
But if I can make it here I can make it anywhere

[Chorus]
Fall asleep now, New York City
I need to rest my eyes
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me

[Post-Chorus]
One day you're gonna dance for me

[Verse 2]
It's been a long day on cold avenues
I have a long way to go so much more to do
It's thirsty work making a dream come true
I am running out of dollars, am I running out of time?
And Manhattan is enormous I'm so tiny in her eyes
So I drink a hotel coffee and call my father from the lobby
I'm a big girl we don't cry
From across the world we say goodbye

[Chorus]
Fall asleep now, New York City
I need to rest my eyes
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me

[Post-Chorus]
One day you're gonna dance for me

[Bridge]
Nights at the The Bowery
Fake confidence and fake ID
Call me Bradshaw, I'm here to stay
I'm so tired but that's okay
Drinks at The Mark Hotel
Fake Balenci but they can't tell
Spread the news I'm part of it
Right through the very heart of it

[Chorus]
Fall asleep now, New York City
I need to rest my eyes
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me
