I was ln New York Brooklyn, New York overnight Drove down the interstate, in a State There were no cheap flights And I don't like heights You know that or you might not I like things that take their time Take your time On the J-Z lines People are rushing and honking Some people like watching Some people like talking I was in the MOMA just having a moment Alone wfth Van Gogh No tourists. No photos It was just me and the strokes If I had a sharpie, just something To mark it I could be a terrorist, a vandal, an Artist It's all so fragile New York, I love you but... I was in Toronto Early in the morning Sun In eyes Ain't no songs about its streets No CBGB's or deli meats No famous slice But that's kinda nice You know that or you might not If I had the money Or someone who loved me A dream I could sell To the wolves up on wall street A gig with a gaggle of girls at the Bowery The city, the lights I was made for this country! Or maybe I'll stay Maybe I'll stay Maybe I'll stay New York maybe but not now
