Oh, New York man
Better than the other man
Oh, New York man
You're the only thing I understand
Since I left the neighbourhood
My spirit's gone and I'm not feeling so good
And everything you said would happen
All came true
They do things really different here
They don't do like you do
Oh, New York man
I hear the subway, see us walking hand in hand
On autumn afternoons
Smokin' on fire escapes through summer moons
Since I left the neighbourhood
My song is sad and I don't feel like I should
I call you from the airport just to say hello
I wanted you to stop me
Not to let me go
I liked the me that I was
When I was with you
Oh, New York man
I left rich, but I'm back cap-in-hand
Oh, what a fall
It's true, I've made a mess of it all
Since I left the neighbourhood
My spirit's gone and I don't feel like I should
Since I left the neighbourhood
My spirit's gone and I'm not feeling so good
(Feeling so good, feeling so good)
