One Day You'll Dance for Me, New York City

Dazed and confused, I am battered and bruised Came with a dream shared by more than a few it seems To lay the 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 I need to rest my eyes 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 a 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 I need to rest my eyes 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 hour rate 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 I need to rest my eyes Someday I'll rise, New York City One day you'll dance for me
