One Day You'll Dance For Me, New York City

Dazed and confused

I am battered and bruised

Came with a dream

Shared by more than a few it seems

To lay the city at my feet

Where the streets never empty and the bars never close

The people are busy and I'm so far from home

Now I'm wide awake in Brooklyn and I miss my mothers cooking

But if I can make it here I can make it anywhere

Fall asleep now, New York City

I need to rest my eyes

Someday I'll rise, New York City

One day you'll dance for me

One day you're gonna dance for me

It's been a long day on cold avenues

I have a long way to go so much more to do

It's thirsty work making a dream come true

I am running out of dollars, am I running out of time?

And Manhattan is enormous I'm so tiny in her eyes

So I drink a hotel coffee and call my father from the lobby

I'm a big girl we don't cry

From across the world we say goodbye

Fall asleep now, New York City

I need to rest my eyes

Someday I'll rise, New York City

One day you'll dance for me

One day you're gonna dance for me

Nights at the The Bowery

Fake confidence and fake ID

Call me Bradshaw, I'm here to stay

I'm so tired but that's okay

Drinks at The Mark Hotel

Fake Balenci but they can't tell

Spread the news I'm part of it

Right through the very heart of it

Fall asleep now, New York City

I need to rest my eyes

Someday I'll rise, New York City

One day you'll dance for me
