[Verse 1] The city, my arrow, my compass and grid The map of my palm and the secrets I hid We were believers, the brightest and best Uptown, Downtown, East Side and West [Verse 2] Now the streets are crooked and I've lost my way In the glitter of rain, in the lights of Broadway In this aimless daze I am worthless and lame As I sift through the ashes, the pictures and names [Chorus] I look away, I see a void Shards of glass and falling stars The skyline in your face The skyline and its scar [Verse 3] Here is New York where all is desire Zeppelins moored to the highest spires The city, my city, of love and of power Of high wire acts between the Twin Towers [Verse 4] Turn back the soldiers, turn back the hands Take me back to the place where nothing now stands Take me back to the moment, take me back to before Let me revel again where skyscrapers soared [Chorus] I look away, I see a void Shards of glass and falling stars The skyline in your face The skyline and its scar [Verse 5] Give me the songs, give me all the clichés They're all that I've got to get through the day Here is New York in black and in blue From the Staten Island Ferry where I first kissed you [Chorus] I look away, I see a void Shards of glass and falling stars The skyline in your face The skyline and its scar [Verse 5] Give me the songs, give me all the clichés They're all that I've got to get through the day Here is New York in black and in blue From the Staten Island Ferry where I first kissed you [Chorus] I look away, I see a void Shards of glass and falling stars The skyline in your face The skyline and its scar [Outro] And its scar And its scar And its scar
