New York by Matthew Logan Vasquez Lyrics

I'm out of reasons as the new moon hides away
A dusty empire in an unforgotten way
I'm still holding on to the hills of my birthplace
But I can't go back to that hell
It's a blur, my former self

I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh

I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh

Quite a culture to live so paper thin
I hear them screamin' at 4:30 AM
Look in the mirror, see that I'm the immigrant
The Pacific call to me
But the actors took everything

I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh
I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh

I watch the sunrise on Manhattan's equinox
I slept no more and watched the students chase the cops
So much I can do from this little Brooklyn box
But I think it's time to leave
I'll remember her like a dream

I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh

I've had enough of hangin' in New York
Had enough of hangin' in New York
Ahhh, ahhh
