New World Romance

See me dancing on easy street

Silhouettes in vogue, and the vanity burn in the heat

High at dawn on some boulevard

A city ripped and torn and slowly reborn in the dark

Ecstasy and bravery in my moon

The headlights burn out the falling stars

As we fall into your room

My promise breaks in two

It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?

Life it goes by in a New York minute

There's wild roses still blooming in me

I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation

While history comes and starts the liberation

Through wild romance

Still calling the faithless out to believe

And Bobby said, "Give the anarchist a cigarette"

I've got graffiti in my blood, a chrome engine in my chest

No looking backwards and no regrets

It's something important to remember but easier to forget

Run like hell before the straight world gets your throat

Can happy endings and Coca-Cola save our damaged souls?

We scream, "Never let me go"

It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?

Life it goes by in a New York minute

There's wild roses still blooming in me

I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation

While history comes and starts the liberation

Through wild romance

Still calling the faithless out to believe

So, let me go

Oh, let me go

I'm anything you want, a cowboy or a cop

But lover, when you look my way

The only scene that I'll play is dying in your arms

Oh, could you stand to be closer, shoulder-to-shoulder

Maybe living uptown till the kids get older?

This new world romance giving true love

Can we both let go now?

It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?

Life it goes by in a New York minute

There's wild roses still blooming in me

I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation

While history comes and starts the liberation

Through wild romance

Still calling the faithless out to believe

So, let me go

Oh, let me go
