New World Romance

See me dancing on easy street Silhouettes in vogue and the vanity burns in the heat High at dawn on some boulevard A city ripped and torn and slowly reborn in the dark Ecstasy and bravery in my moon The headlights burn out the falling stars As we fall into your room My promise breaks in two It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it? Life it goes by in a New York minute There's wild roses still blooming in me I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation While history comes and starts the liberation Through wild romance Still calling the faithless out to believe And Bobby said, "give the anarchist a cigarette" I've got graffiti in my blood, a chrome engine in my chest No looking backwards and no regrets It's something important to remember but easier to forget Run like hell before the straight world gets your throat Can happy endings and coca-cola save our damaged souls? We scream "never let me go" It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it? Life it goes by in a New York minute There's wild roses still blooming in me I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation While history comes and starts the liberation Through wild romance Still calling the faithless out to believe So, let me go Oh, let me go I'm anything you want, a cowboy or a cop But lover when you look my way The only scene that I'll play is dying in your arms Oh could you stand to be closer, shoulder to shoulder Maybe living uptown till the kids get older? This new world romance giving true love Can we both let go now? It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it? Life it goes by in a New York minute There's wild roses still blooming in me I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation While history comes and starts the liberation Through wild romance Still calling the faithless out to believe So, let me go Oh, let me go
