Sides

I like New York City after it rains

Streets look like mirrors that light up again

No matter how hard you try, the city’s not your friend

And I’m stuck on the Upper East Side

And it’s nobody’s fault but mine

Walk into a room, thirty models deep

Make a mental note that this is all right by me

Soon I realize I’m here to play Loser #3

I’m stuck on the Upper East Side

And it’s nobody’s fault but mine

I want to stay, but I need to go

Because I’m scared of tomorrow

But I cannot leave, because I believe

That there is more for me to do

Took a cross-town bus to a downtown train

I’ve been to Twenty-first Street twice today

This career is gonna kill me anyway

I’m stuck on the Upper East Side

And it’s nobody’s fault but mine

I want to stay, but I need to go

Because I’m scared of tomorrow

But I cannot leave, because I believe

That there is more for me to do

I’m stuck on the Upper East Side

And it’s nobody’s fault but mine
