New York City

(Hey boy, there's enough to go around
But don't forget I run this town
It's so pretty in New York City)

There was a night, there was a light shining down on me
Like I could rule the world
Yes, I could rule the world

In all of my life, all of my life,
I dreamed of New York City
I was living life exactly as I should
But that was memory lane

Hey boy, there's enough to go around
But don't forget I run this town
It's so pretty in New York City

Hey boy, I bet you think you've got that sound
With what you've got I'll break you down
It's so pretty in New York City

This is the night, this is the flight, catching the light
You've been waiting for this all of your life
Cocktails seem to make you hard at first glance
Here's to cashing in at every sip of romance

You know you've always belonged here
Finally, finale frontier, great year, more beer, babe
Nevertheless the thought of moving back is serious
But not so glamorous

Gimme the wine, time to recline, what's the time?
I don't know anymore
A little bit of bubbly makes the life easy
It's d'lovely, come over here and kiss me

Now I lost my light, I lost my sight
Something blinded me
I thought I could rule the world
Now I know I can't rule the world

It's time to collide for Jekyll and Hyde
All of my life I've been living a lie, I've been living a lie
(In New York City)

Hey boy, there's enough to go around
But don't forget I run this town
It's so pretty in New York City

Hey boy, I bet you think you've got that sound
With what you've got I'll break you down
It's so pretty in New York City

Slipping away, slipping away
I had it in my hand
How could I have let it break away?

Slipping away, slipping away
Oh, I had the chance to change the game yo want to play

There was a night, there was a light shining down on me
Like I could rule the world
Yes, I could rule the world

In all of my life, all of my life here in New York City
I was living life but I'll never play again
I guess I'll never play again

(There was a night, there was a light shining down on me
Like I could rule the world
Yes, I could rule the world)
