When my heart is torn apart By love I wish I had Well, I spend my nights in the city's lights And things don't seem so bad Ya know the movement seems to soothe me And the temp takes control And I lose my blues When the Ne w York City rhythm fill my soul It's the New York City rhythm Runnin' thru' my life The pounding beat of the city streets That keeps mydreams alive I'm lost, I'm found, I'm up, I'm down But somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life It's got to be the New York City Rhythm in my life, in my life When I'm out for love or sin Oh, it's good to be in town In the funky dives on the old west sid There's always somethin' goin' down Oh yes , I live my life with strangers And the danger's always there But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play Ya know that I don't care Chorus
