New York Survivor by Good Rats Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1981

[Verse 1]
New York's the teacher, I am the student
New York's the preacher, I am the sinner
New York's the beauty, I am the beast
New York's the cure, I'm the disease

[Chorus]
New York, don't lead me on
New York, I've had enough
New York, don't let me go
Hidden in your chateau

[Verse 2]
New York's the novel, I am the comic
New York's the movement, I am the chorus
New York's the penthouse, I am the basement
New York's the model, I am the face lift

[Chorus]
New York, don't lead me on
New York, I've had enough
New York, don't let me go
Hidden in your chateau
[Verse 3]
New York is logic, I'm schizophrenic
New York's exciting, I'm comatose
New York is fashion, I'm five and dime-ish
New York I love you, want to come home

[Verse 4]
New York's the theatre, I am the movie
New York's the tiger, I am the alley cat
New York's the primer, I am a diver
I've got to be a New York survivor

[Outro]
New York survivor (New York survivor)
New York survivor (New York survivor)
New York survivor (New York survivor)
New York survivor (New York survivor)
New York, New York survivor
New York, New York survivor
New York, New York survivor
New York, New York survivor
Hey!
