New Day Rising

There's hell to pay, I'm on my way

Not a minute more to waste in this town

No time to say goodbye

You held me in your cabaret

Like a gimmick holding back your meltdown

For too long

I don't need a dime to save it for a rainy day

'Cause nothing here has value anymore

Oh no

When the candle is burning out

And I've got nothing left to save but my soul

New York is changing

I will be okay

'Cause we can't turn the wheel to the past

To fix the bad ideas that got out of control

New love needs making

I will be okay

Again

Escaping to the dawning red

I will break the chains and smash the windows

To a world I see much brighter

My home

I believe what we see and go for it

I have never been into chasing rainbows

And so I move on

'Cause nothing here can satisfy my soul

When the candle is burning out

And I've got nothing left to save but my soul

New York is changing

I will be okay

'Cause we can't turn the wheel to the past

To fix the bad ideas that got out of control

New love needs making

I will be okay

Again

There's hell to pay

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Today
