John Shanks - Goodnight New York lyrics

[Verse 1] Morning comes crashing like a rock through a window Jackhammer banging on the hot concrete Take your stand (hey!) Move it, man! It's a backtalk, sidewalk symphony Uber cars, yellow cabs, thick as smoke Painted girls and [?] would leave you broke Sax man blowing shooting through my veins There's a rhythm to the rocket that's intoxicating [Chorus] Goodnight New York, goodnight Don't ever close your eyes If these streets could talk, "New York, New York" So fine they named you twice Your face, your brains, no other place From east to west, these streets are blessed Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York Goodnight [Verse 2] Starbucks, FedEx trucks on every street and avenue Broadway lights, shining bright, make everybody beautiful Walking on the high line, reaching for the sky line If Alexander Hamilton could see it all Garbage trucks backing up ,beep, beep, beep Dogs barking on the balcony, the kids can't sleep Scaffolds, pot holes, bagman's on a bicycle Fast trains, bus, planes, welcome to the carnival [Chorus] Goodnight New York, goodnight Don't ever close your eyes If these streets could talk, "New York, New York" So fine they named you twice Your face, your brains, no other place From east to west, these streets are blessed Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York Goodnight [Bridge] The bravest and the finest My hand's on my heart for you To the ones who paid the price And to those who saw us through It's late, I'm getting weary So for now, I'll say [Chorus] Goodnight New York, goodnight Don't ever close your eyes If these streets could talk, "New York, New York" So fine they named you twice Goodnight New York, goodnight Don't ever close your eyes If these streets could talk, "New York, New York" So fine they named you twice Your face, your brains, no other place From east to west, these streets are blessed Goodnight New York, sleep tight New York Goodnight [Outro] Ah, goodnight New York Sleep tight New York Goodnight So goodnight New York Sleep tight New York Goodnight
