Here on seventeenth street
Three-thousand miles away
Brought here by a feeling
But that feeling left today
The people simply point and stare
The cabs won't take me anywhere
And it starts to feel like I don't have a prayer
'Cause I'm lost in New York City
Blocked out from the sun
Lost among these shadows
Hiding everyone
The subways have all stopped running
So the rats are free to roam
Can I find my way home?
Can I find my way home?
I came here a romantic
And ready to explore
But I don't think I wanna stay here
Another minute more
I tell myself it'll be alright
But then the day becomes the night
And there's not a friendly face in sight
I'm lost in New York City
Twisting in the breeze
Depserate for direction
Crawling on my knees
Clocking every streetlight
From Bolton to Jerome
Can I find my way home?
Can I find my way home?
Once I thought I saw you
Moving like a blur and into view
But all I found was a postcard
With a message from a person I once knew
'Cause the truth is that nothing's what it seems
So it's better not to have too many dreams
'Cause dreams might make you bold
And have you chasing after gold
Only to find
Only to find
You're lost in New York City

Sing to me
It's coming on Christmas
They're cutting down trees
They're puttin' up reindeer
And singin' songs of joy and peace
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
♪
I wish I had a river so long
I would
Teach my feet to
Fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I made my baby cry
I knew when I first saw you
I love you so much

I wish I had a river so long (Lost in New York City)
I would teach my feet to fly (Can't find my way home)
I'm lost
And trying to get home
