New York Was Great

And new york was great and we loved it allAnd new york was great and we loved it allBut time was riding fast upon my shouldersWhat a shameWhat a shameWhat a shameThe nighttime was painted black with funThe nighttime was painted black with funBut all the time the light shone it through it allWhat a dragWhat a dragWhat a dragAnd in bars drunk we knew it allAnd promises we spilled out in the nightAnd promises we spilled out in the nightWhat a tripWhat a tripWhat a tripAnd the stars we plucked from great black skiesAnd the stars we plucked from new york skiesWe placed them all in front of us and laughedWhat a tripWhat a tripWhat a trip
