Joe Lambert - New York lyrics

When my nerve wore down I was a**ailed by simple little sounds: Hammer clangs, sirens in the park Like I never heard New York Blaring brakes, trapped trucks Honking horns, hissing buses stuck Shrieking trains barreling berserk Like I never heard New York Like I never heard New York When the room grew loud I learned to stand in back Behind the crowd Dam can*ls with cork Like I never heard New York But when the walls gave way I had to flee, I had to back away As the whole town barked Like I never heard New York Like I never heard New York
