Neil Sedaka - New York City Blues

Life and death in an alleyway

Just a heartbeat away from a man

Who's learned to turn his head away

From the pain that drains the land.

Harlem's not too far from here,

You can smell the garbage, feel the fear.

I hear they're gonna build a sky-scraper there,

As if we didn't need the extra air.

New York city blues,

In order to win, you gotta lose.

Old before your time,

The dirt and the grime

Get into everything.

And the papers love to say

It's the meanest town in the USA,

But I think it's OK, it's the town I've made my home.

On another side of Park Avenue

Respectable folks don't know,

Hungry eyes take in the view

Of the world that lays them low.

Too many years on a welfare line,

The old song and dance time after time,

You can only get so pushed around

Until you wanna tear the damn thing down.

New York city blues,

In order to win, you gotta lose.

Old before your time,

The dirt and the grime

Get into everything.

And the papers love to say

It's the meanest town in the USA,

But I think it's OK, it's the town I've made my home.

New York city blues,

In order to win, you gotta lose.

Old before your time,

The dirt and the grime

Get into everything.

And the papers love to say

It's the meanest town in the USA,

But I think it's OK, it's the town I've made my home.......
