In New York Lyrics by George Salazar

2014

{GEORGE SALAZAR}
In New York
I ride the train
With my headphones and my tunes
Because I'm depressed
And life is pain
Plus it keeps away the loons
So my favorite bands' going to get me through my commute and I keep the world at the bay
I keep on my route
Because in New York, my headphones play, some song that goes like this:
[WILL ROLAND]
You're alone, your friends, they're gone
So you're alone, you're friends, they're gone
So you're alone, you're friends, they're gone
So you're alone, so alone
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
Then some barbershop quartet walks through the subway door
They do a song and I get upset
'Cause I can't hear my tunes anymore
Then I say
"Thank god, I'm getting off at Union Square"
But when I reach the station, there's another quartet there
Because in New York
They're everywhere
Singing crap like this:
{QUARTET}
Knot, knot
Tie a knot, knot around
Who you love
And uh-hold on for good
Knot, knot
Tie a knot, knot around
Who you love
And uh-hold on for good
Knot, knot
Tie a knot, knot around
Who you love
And uh-hold on for good
And uh-hold on for good
And uh-hold on for good
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
And I'm trying to listen to the music in my headphones
But they're messing it up and now it's all:
{EVERYONE SINGING CHAOTICALLY}
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
I'm trying to focus on the sad, sad world in my headphones
But the song is together, they just go:
{EVERYONE SINGING CHAOTICALLY}
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
But then something weird happens, for a moment
For a moment, something weird
The:
[WILL ROLAND]
You're alone, your friends, they're gone
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
Syncs up with
{QUARTET}
Knot, knot
Tie a knot, knot around
Who you love
And uh-hold on for good
{GEORGE SALAZAR}
And it becomes:
[WILL ROLAND AND QUARTET]
You're not not alone
Tie a knot knot around your friends who you love
They're gonna hold on for good
George:
And I'm trying to be a pessimist but I can't, I can't because
Suddenly there's music no one's ever heard before
Suddenly there's music no one's ever heard before, before
And I'm thankful for moments like this when two musics' combine
When the "Thump-a-Thump" of a stranger's heart thumps along with mine
