Dazed and confused
but most of all battered and bruised
I came with a dream
shared by more than a few it seems

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

fall back
it's been a lot day but we're still on track
embrace the fierce reality
or wither away in sentimentality

all 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
