New York City

I'm at the Riviera

And you're at the Ritz

Yeah I'm sure we can co-exist

But I kinda hoped I'd be better off than this

Watching you aristocrats

Parading in front of rats

Makes me think I should just pack up and leave

But you know I'd be back

New York City's

Out of style for cheap

Cause you know I can't afford anything

I said New York City's

Out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever wanna leave at all

I run through such great heights

But still you take the crown

Standing on the shoulder of giants

From luxury apartments

Do you bother to look back down

At those stuck under your feet

Crowding the busy streets

When good things just don't come cheap

Man you gotta love to hate it

New York City's

Out of style for cheap

Cause you know I can't afford anything

I said New York City's

Out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever wanna leave

At all

Ooh

Watching the days go by

Busy drowning in the lights

Maybe I should stop with second guessing

Oh wouldn't it be nice

If I could settle down and feel at home

New York City's

Out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever want to leave, I said

New York City's

Out of style for cheap

So how can anyone afford anything, I said

New York City's

Out of style for cheap

And it's always just way too loud in here

Turn it down

But that's not my city

Without these sirens calling me out

Yeah, these rags to riches

Keep me counting wishes

And maybe I should just ditch this

But these views are just holding me back
