The New York sky
Is like a gray man’s hair- receding all the time
And if I could catch a first cab driving out of here tonight
I would flee to where the ponds are small and the mountains high

While giant screens on yellow cabs promise to fulfill my dreams
And credit cards are what valuable means
Asking myself why am I still here, in the city that never sleeps?

And I’m trapped by the sugar-coated lanes, can’t seem to run away
I never thought that emptiness could be so sweet
And it follows me, wherever I go, and it’s hard to say no
But I’ve got to fill this life with something real

I’m sick and tired of this world revolving ‘round all our desires
Forgetting there’s something bigger than you and him and me and I-
I’m searching for some meaning in this life
While skinny girls tell you looking good is golden in this world
And what you have is all that you are worth
Can buy it all with a heavy purse, this fever’s getting worse

Times Square shines, city lights
Pulling me in, telling me ‘just one more night’
And I turn off my phone and walk these streets alone
Hope that somebody out there can hear me calling for help…

‘Cause I’m trapped by the sugar-coated lanes, I have to get away
I never thought that emptiness could be so sweet
And it follows me, wherever I go, and though it’s hard to say no
I swear I’ve got to fill this life with something real
