Is that supposed to be your poker face Or was someone run over by a train? You’re minding your own business But you’re begging for forgiveness Just the same
And it’s running back and forth inside your mind Just how that town defined you Dressed you up, painted on your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place
You’re waking, trying not to be Wrapped around your pillow like a prawn The nighttime’s wrapped around you ‘Will be until it traps you on the dawn From the C-Train to the shiny tower Kicked around till happy hour found you Where you can drink that smirk right off your face And now you’re leaving New York For no better place
And here is your reflection In a building uptown A ghost is at some Madison Avenue display Like water under bridges You’re slowly passing by She sailed between the rooftops and the sky
And the bourbon sits inside me Right now I’m a puppet in its sway And it may be the whiskey talking But the whiskey says, “I’ll miss you every dayâ€
So I taxi to an all-night party Park me in a corner, in an old chair Sip my drink and stare out into space And now you’re leaving New York For no better place And now you’re leaving New York For no better place
