New York Morning

The first to put a simple truth in words
Binds the world in a feeling all familiar
'Cause everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
A tenner up and out into New York
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
And oh my giddy aunt New York can talk
It's the modern Rome and folk are nice to Yoko
Every bone of rivet steel
Each corner stone an ankle
Jenga jutts and rusted water tower
Pillar-posted sign
Every painted line and battered
Laddered building in this town
Sings a life of proud endeavor
At the best that man can be
Me I see a city and I hear a million voices
Planning drilling welding
Carrying their fingers to the nub
Reaching down into the ground
Stretching up into the sky
Why
Because they can
They did and do so you and I could live together
Oh my god New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
Oh my god New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
Oh my god New York can talk
Somewhere in all that talk is all the answers
Everybody owns the great ideas
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
The design in a patchwork symphony
The desire like a distant storm
For love did it come for me
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
The design in a patchwork symphony
The desire like a distant storm
For love did it come for me
And it feels like there's a big one round the corner
The way the day begins
Decides the shade of everything
But the way it ends depends on if you're home
For every soul a pillow at a window please
In a modern Rome where folk are nice to Yoko
