Lyrics
[Verse 1]
See me dancing on easy street
Silhouettes in vogue, and the vanity burn in the heat
High at dawn on some boulevard
A city ripped and torn and slowly reborn in the dark
[PreChorus]
Ecstasy and bravery in my moon
The headlights burn out the falling stars
As we fall into your room
My promise breaks in two
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
[Chorus]
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
[Verse 2]
And Bobby said, "Give the anarchist a cigarette"
I've got graffiti in my blood, a chrome engine in my chest
No looking backwards and no regrets
It's something important to remember but easier to forget
[PreChorus]
Run like hell before the straight world gets your throat
Can happy endings and Coca-Cola save our damaged souls?
We scream, "Never let me go"
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
[Chorus]
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
So, let me go
Oh, let me go
[Bridge]
I'm anything you want, a cowboy or a cop
But lover, when you look my way
The only scene that I'll play is dying in your arms
[Chorus]
Oh, could you stand to be closer, shoulder-to-shoulder
Maybe living uptown till the kids get older?
This new world romance giving true love
Can we both let go now?
[Chorus]
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
[Chorus]
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
So, let me go
Oh, let me go
