New York's In Love

(album: Never Let Me Down - 1987)

Do you see that thing
I'm sure it's love
Would you do one thing
New York's in love
The city grew wings
in the back of the night
The clouds are stuck
like candy-floss
She sees the rich trash
having all the fun
Makes her wonder where they get the energy from

There's nothing you can do to her
This city's all clean and waiting
I don't mean to wait too long
But this joint can't get much higher

[CHORUS]
New York's in love
With her big green eyes
And her long blonde hair
New York's in flames
New York's in love
With the way she talks
And the way she walks
New York's in love
Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo Goo

My, oh my, it's a tom-tom beat
No-one knows they've had their day
We can dance and we can see the singles swing
Everybody's waiting for the Go-Go Boys.
You're turned to stone by the family
It's now the dead speak to the living
Nothing left here
but a raging blaze
I don't mean to wait too long

[CHORUS]
