Red guitar
Missing a few strings
Out of tune
But you could tell
He use to sing
And he's
All strung out
At 9 the morning
On the corner of
Broadway and 42nd street
Novels and love songs
Romanticize this city
Movies and tv shows
Painted a picture for me
Im seeing realities
The display is shocking
On the streets of New York
On the streets of New York
I keep my eyes to the ground
Cause contact is a curse
I try to block the words out
Pretend I never heard
Novels and love songs
Romanticize this city
Movies and tv shows
Painted a picture for me
I'm seeing realities
The display is shocking
On the streets of New York
On the streets of New York
City where dreams are made
City where dreams are crushed
City of wealth and glamour
City of crime and drugs
Novels and love songs
Romanticize this city
Movies and tv shows
Painted a picture for me
Im seeing realities
The display is shocking
On the streets of New York
On the streets of New York
