scott klopfenstein - welcome to new york lyrics

Loading...

oh, i packed up suitcases
one for clothes
one for dreams

and on the five-hour flight i made my fool proof schemes

that i’d eat the big apple
not choke on the seeds

and they’d name a street after me
but this was not destined to be

cause every actor, model, musician
in the food industry
smiles for tips to afford their three hundred square feet

and at the end of auditions all they hear is next please
so, at night they drop to their knees
“god, can you still hear me?”

so welcome to new york
aren’t you lonely now
even your god’s lost you in the crowd
amongst the sound
of eight million people whose hearts make man’s choir
hoping hopes can reach higher than man can build

on the sidewalks and subways
where dreams are for sale
live the giant-sized judging eyes
of those who’ve yet to fail

starring into the faces behind open guitar cases
belting just so they can hear
past the ringing of the city in their ears

so welcome to new york
aren’t you lonely now
even your god’s lost you in the crowd
amongst the sound
of eight million people whose hearts make man’s choir
hoping hopes can reach higher than man can build

(guitar)

so welcome to new york
aren’t you lonely now
even your god’s lost you in the crowd
amongst the sound
of eight million people whose hearts make man’s choir
hoping hopes can reach higher than man can build

so welcome to new york
and you’re angry now
everyone’s laughing and you wonder how
could god allow
eight million people with hearts all on fire

maybe my hearts a liar and a child
