Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Antenna 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 where folk are nice to Yoko
[Verse 3]
Every bone of rivet steel, each cornerstone and angle
Jenga juts and rusty water tower, pillar, post and sign
Every painted line and battered ladder building in this town
Sings a life of proud endeavor and the best that man can be
[Verse 4]
Me, I see a city and I hear a million voices
Plannin, drillin', weldin', carryin' their fingers to the nub
Reachin' down into the ground, stretchin' up into the sky
Why? Because they can, they did and do so you and I could live together
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
The desire to part sure symphony
The desire like a distant storm
For love, be good for me
And it feels like there's a big one 'round the corner
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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 the folk are nice to Yoko
