 And I wanted to go

Half my life

And I feel kind of strange

Like I never lived that life

 And I?m trying hard

To control my heart

And I always want to know

And I always want to go

There?s now time to unpack yet

Let?s get straight out on the street

And feel no inhibitions

This city was built for me

And my head is full of questions

When did I feel this good

In the arms of my lover

Burning through the night of New York

And its funny how time fly?s

In the city that never sleeps

It?s getting after hours

And I?m feeling the heat

I?M almost dead and buried

The day nearly done

But I want to keep on going

I?m going to kiss the sun in New York

And I?m feeling kind of selfish

I've been busy on your island

Just having my own fun

It?s an English tradition

Find some money make some time

Get busy on your island

And slowly lose our minds in New York
