The days were long and the nights so cold The pages turn and the tale unfolds He left me for another lady She stood so tall and she never slept The was not one moment he could regret He left me for another lady
He took my hand one day and told me He was leaving Me disbelieving And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Had to let him go
Her name was New York, New York And she took his heart away oh my Her name was New York, New York She had poisoned his sweet mind Mmmm
The wolves they howled for my lost soul I fell down a deep black hole He left me for another lady She poured the drinks and she poured the power Diamond girl who could talk for hours He left me for another lady
Now I am on my own He told me he was leaving And I was pleading And I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I Had to let him go
Her name was New York, New York And she took his heart away oh my Her name was New York, New York She had poisoned his sweet mind
The greatest times I don't wanna hear it Your new laughter lines I don't wanna hear it The new found friends she introduced you to I don't wanna know them I just want to be with you Please don't make me go to...
New York, New York She took your heart away oh my Her name was New York, New York She poisoned your sweet mind
I'll be the late night lady you won't recognise I'm a chameleon I'm always in disguise I'd read your future but it's written in the past Take a good look might be your last
Don't try to show me, cause you don't know me Stay away
I can be wilder than the wind 119 miles an hour I'm in a whole other dimension Dancing doubles on the floor You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy But I'm stone cold sober
You're telling me something But there's nothing cheap as words I'm walking away before I do affect the birds Excuse me Mr I've got other things to do Than to stand here listening to you
Stop talking at my face take a rocket out to space and Stay away
I can be wilder than the wind 119 miles an hour I'm in a whole other dimension Dancing doubles on the floor You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy But I'm stone cold
I can be wilder than the wind 119 miles an hour I'm in a whole other dimension Dancing doubles on the floor You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy But I'm stone cold sober
In the madness of the storm I'm the one to carry on I don't need no medicine If you're looking for a cure Don't be knocking at my door I'll never let you in Take a rocket into space And stay out of my face
I can be wilder than the wind 119 miles an hour I'm in a whole other dimension Dancing doubles on the floor You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy But I'm stone cold
I can be wilder than the wind 119 miles an hour I'm in a whole other dimension Dancing doubles on the floor You think I'm crazy, a little bit hazy But I'm stone cold sober
The prophet took my hand on all saints day He preached the values of deception Changing shadows by a shapeshifter rules Tales are never just for fools
The court of conscience came before me Presenting me with a heavenly angel You took my hand and ask me, truth aside To his questions I replied
Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? I am happy to deceive you
He stood as tall as redwood trees Drank tea from a seamstress thimble I didn't want to speak the honest truth So I spit out lies that aimed to soothe
Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful?
I am happy to deceive you
Sacred lies and telling tales I can be who you want me to be Sacred lies and telling tales I can be who you want me to be But you do you want me?
Do you want the truth or something beautiful? Just close your eyes and make believe Do you want the truth or something beautiful? I am happy to deceive you
Sacred lies and telling tales I can be who you want me to be Sacred lies and telling tales I can be who you want me to be But do you want me? But do you want me?
