Here on 17th street, 3,000 miles away
Brought here by a feeling, but that feeling left today
The people simply point and stare
The cabs won’t take me anywhere
And it starts to feel like i don’t have a prayer…
‘cause i’m lost in new york city
Blocked out from the sun
Lost among these shadows, hiding everyone
The subways have all stopped running, so the rats are free to roam…
〈with ensemble〉 can i find my way home?
Can i find my way home?
〈alone〉 oh…
I came here a romantic, and ready to explore
But i don’t think i want to stay herе another minute more
I tеll myself it’ll be alright, but then the day becomes the night
And there is not a friendly face in sight…
I’m lost in new york city
Twisting in the breeze
Desperate for direction
Crawling on my knees
Clocking every streetlight
(?) to roam…
Can i find my way home?
Can i find my way home?
Oh…
Once i thought i saw you moving like a blur right into view
〈with penny〉 but all i found was a postcard
With a message from a person i once knew
’cause the truth is that nothing’s what it seems
So it’s better not to have too many dreams
’cause dreams might make you bold and have you chasing after gold
Only to find, only to find…
Only to find, only to find…
Only to find, only to find…
You’re lost in new york city…
Sing to me
It’s coming on christmas
They’re cutting down trees
They’re putting up reindeer
And singing songs of joy and peace
Oh, i wish i had a river i could skate away on…
I wish i had a river so long
I would teach my feet fo fly…
I wish i had a river i could skate away on…
I made my baby cry
〈spoken〉 i knew when i first saw you… i love you so much, russell
I wish i had a river so long
I would teach my feet fo fly…
I’m lost in new york city, oh…
I’m lost in new york city, oh…
I’m lost
And trying to get
〈with ensemble〉 home..
Ah…
Ooh…
Ah…
