And the strikes and the likes All lined up in a row Something is wrong here It doesnt belong here People are locking themselves Behind their own four walls It falls from the skies here But no one survives here And maybe thats the saddest part of all Jesus freaks Mohammed speaks The lord is on their team Tenements and mid-town rents Rich and poor live in between Say a prayer and breathe the air In the cold and heat When evening falls The city calls but the lights only shine on empty streets Something is wrong here Doesnt belong here People are locking themselves Behind their own four walls Falls from the skies here No one survives here maybe thats the saddest part of all I think of her I think of lifes own music At least thats the way It used to be I think of her And I see the children laughing But its only on the streets Of my memory And I never felt so lonely And so helpless Wishing that I didnt know the truth But they tell me That a friend is dying And theres in this world I can do When she was good It was oh so good You were blessed If she smiled on you You could be king If she believed your story When it was over If she laughed at you Now Ive never felt so lonely And so helpless Wishing that I didnt know the truth They tell me that a friend is dying And there is nothing in this world That I can do The hands that used to reach out To everybody Now theyre lying by her side And her eyes are closed No one really knows If she can make it through Another night Still most of what I love Is locked inside her Everything I thought Id ever need My heart keeps crying Youve got to hold on a little bit longer but my head is sure That its time to leave And Ive never felt so lonely And so helpless Im wishing that I didnt know the truth They tell me that my friend is dying Oh, New York City Can you say it aint true ? Can you tell me now Before Im leaving you ?
