New York

When my nerve wore down I was assailed by simple little sounds Hammer clangs, sirens in the park Like i never heard new york Blaring brakes, trapped trucks Honking horns, hissing buses stuck Shrieking trains barreling berserk Like i never heard new york When the room grew loud I learned to stand in the back Behind the crowd Dam canals with cork Like i never heard new york But when the walls gave way I had to flee, i had to back away As the whole town barked Like i never heard new york
