lyrics

Out on the streets
There lives a girl
A teenage runaway from some suburban world
Get on your feet better find some place to hide
Don’t want to be out in the burroughs late at night

Lookout for the rats that live amongst this urban blight
Brooklyn gangs in alleyways just looking for a fight
Switchblades and cocaines
Pacino look a likes
Riots in the lower eastside
Inner city strife
Must be new york ‘79
Under the city lights
That once shown down so bright
You gotta move it right for all you’ve sacrificed
The discos are no more the entrance blocked with boards
But She knows where to score
She knows where to score

Beneath the broadway lights
Hookers and socialites
And down at 54 no glitter the floor
I really miss the way the future could have been
And someday maybe old New York will be New York again.

New York City nights in new york 79
New York City nights in new york 79
New York City nights New York City nights
New York City nights New York City nights
