NYC ON THE BLINK

IT'S NOT TIME TO MAKE A CHANGE
PUT AWAY YOUR WALLET
THAT TV'S TOO BIG

THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN BUY
NOTHING YOU CAN THROW AWAY
THAT MAKES YOU FEEL ANYTHING BUT BIG

I THINK THAT IT'S TIME WE SAID
LET'S START PAYING OFF OUR DEBTS
LET'S INVEST IN THE PAST

I THINK THAT IT'S ONLY FAIR
TO GIVE YOUR DOLLARS EVERYWHERE
NO MATTER HOW MANY DOLLARS YOU DON'T HAVE

IT'S NOT ALLOWED TO FEEL SO FREE
WHEN IT COSTS TWO FRONT TEETH
YOUR FAVORITE FRIENDS ARE ALL WORRIED ABOUT
THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT

IF YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT
DON'T LEAVE NO TRAIL
NEW YORK CITY'S ON THE BLINK

THERE'S NO FILE YOU CAN MAKE
IN YOUR HOUSE TOMORROW
THERE'S NO KEYBOARD TO HELP YOU THINK

YOU WONDER IF TIME STANDS STILL
WHEN YOU THEORIZE CHEAP THRILLS
AND YOUR WHITE SHOES HAVE NOT BEEN WORN IN A WHILE

DO YOU DO ME WANT TO DANCE
AWAY FROM THE HOT DRY LAND
EVERYONE ON THE PHONE TONIGHT
TRYING TO MAKE IT RIGHT
