New York is
far away from here
New York is
far away from here
And you can see it
in the rain
And you can see it
in the cheap suits
and the ties
It's just a fallen
away frontier
It's just a fallen
away frontier
And they are
fencing it
with fast food
chains
And buildings
that go up
before your eyes
And you say
everybody's marching
to the same beat
Marching to
the same beat
of the drum
Everybody's thinking
of the same thing
But I will
I will
I will beg to
differ with you
New York is
far away from here
New York is
far away from here
And you can see it
in the coffee shops
And catch it
from the corner
of your eyes
It's just a layer
of thin veneer
It's just a layer
of thin veneer
That it stretches
like a parking lot
That's swept up
in a string
of satellites
And you say
everybody's marching
to the same beat
Marching to the
same beat
of the drum
Everybody's thinking
of the same thing
But I will
I will
I will beg to
differ with you
Full moon rising up
in the air tonight
Freight train
coming through to
catch a ride down
one bike
Think about my love
oh my sweater
a little tighten up
The incomprehensible
at distance
and I feel
little better
you see
You say
everybody's marching
to the same beat
Marching to
the same beat
of the drum
Everybody's thinking
of the same thing
But I will
I will
I will beg to
differ with you
New York is
far away from here
New York is
far away from here
And you can see it
in the setting sun
See it
just before
you say goodbye
It's just
a landscape
of souvenirs
It's just
a landscape
of souvenirs
And I'm embarrassed
to be human
I'm embarrassed
that I want
what I despise
You say
everybody's marching
to the same beat
yeah
Marching to
the same beat
of the drum
Everybody's thinking
of the same thing
But I will
I will
I will beg to
differ with you
