Are you tuning in?

Are you tuning in?

And I wanted to go

Half my life

And I feel kind of strange

Like I never lived that life

And I'm trying hard

To control my heart

And I always want to know

And I always want to go

New York are you tuning in

New York big city of dreams

New York oh what a city

New York are you tuning in

There's no time to unpack yet

Lets get straight out on the street

And feel no inhibitions

This city was built for me

And my head is full of questions

When did I feel this good

In the arms of my lover

Burning through the night of New York

And its funny how time flies

In the city that never sleeps

Its getting after hours

And I'm feeling the heat

I'm almost dead and buried

The day nearly done

But I want to keep on going

I'm going to kiss the sun in New York

And I'm feeling kind of selfish

I've been busy on your island

Just having my own fun

Its an English tradition

Find some money make some time

Get busy on your island

And slowly lose our minds in New York

--Richard Ashcroft, "New York"
