New York was great and we loved it all
New York was great and we loved it all
But time was riding fast upon my shoulders
What a shame
What a shame
What a shame

The nighttime was painted black with fun
The nighttime was painted black with fun
But all the time, the light shone through it all
What a drag
What a drag
What a drag

And in bars, drunk, we knew it all
And in bars, drunk, we knew it all
And promises, we spilled out in the night
What a trip
What a trip
What a trip

And the stars, we plucked from great black skies
And the stars, we plucked from New York skies
We placed them all in front of us and laughed
What a trip
What a trip
What a trip
