Cat Power - Hard Times In New York City lyrics

( live peel session 2000 ) Old new york city is a friendly old town, From washington heights to harlem on down. There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around, They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down. It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate To rockefeller center n' the empire state. Mister empire sets up as high as a bird, Old mister rockefeller never says a word. From the country, Livin' down in new york town From the country, Livin' down in new york town Old new york city is a friendly old town, From washington heights to harlem on down. There's a-mighty many people all millin' all around, They'll knock you when you're up and kick you when you're down. It's a mighty long ways from the golden gate To rockefeller center n' the empire state. Mister empire sets up as high as a bird, Old mister rockefeller never says a word. From the country, Livin' down in new york town From the country, Livin' down in new york town
