New York first impressions version by Erin Snape Lyrics

Lights up as the world turns down its brightness
Pour your soul out into New York
Lady with a rose and vine and sharing
Her whole life with New York

Oh the streets live and breathe
With the lives that flicker by on the silver screen
The sky's a sleeping beast
Tickled by the hands of our masterpiece

Your heart hangs hardly to your chest as day comes
Running breathless into New York
And your eyes grow eager bathed in neon posters
Selling people
Lives thеy can buy to be beautiful peoplе
With a hundred new eyes in the square every evening
Watching flickers of posters of people
While coasting

And the streets live and breathe
With the lives that flicker by on the silver screen
The sky's a sleeping beast
Tickled by the hands of our masterpiece
Lights up for New York as we sleep quietly is such a dream

Lights up as the world turns down its' brightness
Pour your soul out into New York
