Faster than sunshine and slower than Fate
Brighter than orange juice and darker than hate
Closer [bad word] hour where lost souls are waiting
Farther than home for me

I love New York
Here's where I'll find - my peace of mind

Crowded subways, haunted hearts [bad word] to lonely besrooms
Windows to jump from when all hope has failed them
Helping the right unwind - Oh

I love New York
Here's where I'll find - my peace of mind

Oh...........
