New York Minute

New York Minute

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street
In the morning

He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfold
One day, he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn't matter anymore

In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody's going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on, tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door

In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh

And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool's advice
And take care of your own
'Cause one day, they're here
Next day, they're gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
Leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark
Baby, I've changed
Please, come back

What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
I know the days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there's somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe

In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh

In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute, ooh
Everything can change
In a New York minute, ooh
