Lyrics
Ah, this city. So many
lights you can actually
Pretend one of ‘em is shining on you.
I always wanted to see
the lights of broadway
I always wanted to hear the traffic roar
I always wanted to be a part
Of new york city’s great big heart
And now i am I couldn’t ask for’
I was that girl, i’m
all of them. Trapped in
A room full of shadows and not enough
Light. And soon we will fade away, into
The walls, into nothingness. The end.
People like us: we get through the day
Surviving the city way better than most.
We go through the motions
From nightcap to nightcap:
Here but not here.
With the heart of a ghost.
people like us, we meet up some night
In a room full of strangers
who call themselves
Friends:
It feels like a dream
But it’s too hard to tell
Where the dream begins
And the real world ends
And where - where do we belong
We might have to ask ourselves
Where ‘Where do we belong’
People like us:
Private stock.
Where’
People like us. We take
lovers like pills.
Just hoping to cure what
we know we can’t fix.
And we lay in their arms
And we say pretty things:
We'll be there but not there
And we’ll still get our kicks:
People like us, we sure get our kicks
And we heal awful fast
and we don’t even scar:
We are here but not here
In a roomful of friends
We could join the fray
Or stay here where we are --
And where ‘ Where do we belong’
Do we need to ask ourselves
Where ‘ Where do we belong’
People like us:
Damaged goods. Where’
Where’
We dance alone on a crowded floor.
We weren’t given much.
And we don’t expect much more’
‘More’ Is not a word we use.
‘More’ Would never be enough.
People like us: we slip
through the cracks
We’ll never be famous.
So who’s gonna care’
Nobody needs us
And everyone’s had us ‘
We’re here but not here:
We’ve been there but not there ‘
And where ‘Where do we belong’
We only have ourselves.
Where ‘Where do we belong’
People like us.
Lost.
And found.
Where
Where
