Ian Shaw - In a New York Minute

Текст песни

In a New York minute
on a New York street
You can get the feeling
that the world is sweet
There are stylish people there is speed and sex
There are magic moments there are tragic wrecks
In a New York minute
you can hear the beat
As the cast of thousands marches down the street
While the lights are changing in a traffic stalls
Someone’s star is rising
as another falls
There are shining towers, there are breathless views,
There are laughs and squalor
Sights that bruise.
It’s the perfect city
if you’ve got a buck
But it shows no pity
when you’re out of luck
No, it’s not the city
that you thought it was
In a New York taxi
you can get a buzz
It can be your apple
if you’re strong enough
you can make a killing
if you’ve got the stuff
if you’ve got the stuff
In a New York minute
you can hear the beat
As the cast of thousands marches down the street
It looks so romantic
up in central park
But don’t strong around there
when it’s growing dark
While the dreams are dancing
in your eager head
In a New York minute
you can wind up dead
Or you could get lucky
if your time is right
You can take the apple
in a single bite
You can show the people
just how good you are
You can ride the tiger
you can travel far
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
In a New York minute
