lyrics

Sad Town, New York

There’s crying on the subway
Revolution above ground
Windows are like yesterday
Darkened by the sound
I once loved you madly
I’m proud enough to say
In New York
New York is just a sad, sad town

Teardrops hit the F train floor
And slowly fade to black
Think I got it made
I got that monkey off my back
Thought I was doing fine
But that is just a phase
In New York
New York is just a sad, sad town

The greener pastures we once knew
Are memories to be
Hard to understand
Why you no longer care for me
I was gone, now I’m back
And I think I’m gonna stay
In New York
New York is still a sad, sad town
