LIFE IN NEW YORK

You sit down in the subway train
Still sleepy and you are late
you visit hookup sites in the night again
But you’re too tired for a Tinder date
You hurry to the station
the next morning when you go to work
Congratulations, buddy, you live in New York

You sleep on the bench, you are done
Union Square is your home
You're no longer fight for a place in the sun
Since you first went straight to the dome
You are pro in long gazing
Who had never visited Top of the Rock
Cause there’s something else to do
when you live in New York

You’re already fallen or still climbing up
You’re fed up with MTA
The daily commute is your eternal trap
You got lost somewhere along the way
You hang out with cool cats
In SoHo around the clock
So the damned thing sucked you in
They call it New York

You flit around the galleries
everyday like butterfly
and your taste in art is the only thing
on which you can rely
whether you are well-heeled
or you accidentally are broke
you know what it’s worth,
the life in New York
