NYC Lyrics by Interpol

Turn on the Bright Lights

2003

[Verse 1]
I had seven faces
Thought I knew which one to wear
But I'm sick of spending these lonely nights
Training myself not to care
The subway is a porno
Pavements, they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow, I'm not impressed

[Chorus]
But New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)

[Verse 2]
Subway, she is a porno
And the pavements, they are a mess
I know you've supported me for a long time
Somehow, I'm not impressed

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights
Oh, it's up to me now, turn on the bright lights

[Chorus]
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)
New York cares (Got to be some more change in my life)

[Outro]
It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights (got to be some more change in my life)
(Got to be some more change in my life)
Oh, it's up to me now, turn on the bright lights (got to be some more change in my life)
(Got to be some more change in my life)
