Dazed and confused, I am battered and bruised
Came with a dream shared by more than a few, it seems
To lay this city at my feet
Where the streets never empty and the bars never close
The people are busy and I'm so far from home
Now I'm wide awake in Brooklyn
And I miss my mother's cooking
But if I can make it here, I can make it anywhere
Fall asleep now, New York City
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I need to rest my eyes
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me
One day you're gonna dance for me
It's been a long day on cold avenues
I have a long way to go, so much more to do
It's thirsty work making a dream come true
I am running out of dollars, am I running out of time?
And Manhattan is enormous, I'm so tiny in her eyes
So I drink the hotel coffee, call my father from the lobby
I'm a big girl, we don't cry
From across the world, we say goodbye
Fall asleep now, New York City
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I need to rest my eyes
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me
One day you're gonna dance for me
Nights at the Bowery
Fake confidence and fake ID
Call me Bradshaw, I'm here to stay
I'm so tired, but that's okay
Drinks at The Mark Hotel
Fake Balenci, but they can't tell
Spread the news, I'm a part of it
Right through the very heart of it
(New York)
Fall asleep now, New York City
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
I need to rest my eyes
(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Someday I'll rise, New York City
One day you'll dance for me
