Can you hear them? The helicopters
I'm in New York, no need for words now
We sit in silence
You look me in the eye directly
You met me, I think it's Wednesday
The evening, the mess we're in
And oh-oh (the city sun sets over me)
Oh-oh, oh (the city sun sets over me)
Night and day
I dream of making love
To you now, baby
Love making on screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise over the river
The freeway
Reminding of this mess we're in
And oh-oh (the city sun sets over me)
Oh-oh, oh (the city sun sets over me)
The city sunset over me
The city sun sets over me
What were you wanting? (What was that you wanted?)
I just wanna say (I just wanna say, don't ever change)
Don't ever (and thank you) change now, baby (I don't think we will meet again)
And thank you
I don't think we will meet again (You must leave now, before the sun rises above skyscrapers)
And you must leave now before the sunrise (And the city landscape comes into being)
Above skyscrapers (sweat on my skin, oh), the city
This mess we're in
And oh-oh (The city sun sets over me)
Oh-oh, oh (The city sun sets over me)
Oh-oh, oh (The city sun sets over me)
Oh-oh, oh (The city sun sets over me)
