about

This song is about the thrill and craziness of living in New York City.

lyrics

New York is a Bone

Out to meet a friend in outer space I call him and say I’ve worn out my name

On walls and faces in voices and streets
In too many situations not of my making

I’m feeling so much better after a smoke and drink
Cuts and scars are blotted in ink

Tourists with headaches cattle in taxis Eight million hands writing one story

New York is a bone carved on a stone Worn through your nose scratching your soul

Out to meet a friend for a little comedy
She calls and says she’s living the dream

In meetings at parties in clubs and limousines
Touching lives of quality

I’m feeling so much better then she disappears Into her phone, billboards, and mirrors

I want to see my time hold it my hands
Everything at once is shaken in a glass

Home for the evening the phone rings The voice of your mom asks how’s everything
“It couldn’t be better it’s moving thanks for the letter and the money”

I’m feeling so much better inside my window Music covers shouting below

Four thousand cupcakes an ocean of milk Eight million paper plates in the same bin
