lyrics

Highrise
Downtown train
Cities come and go
But I will stay
We won't sleep tonight
We won't sleep tonight

And your a hard act to follow
A bitter pill to swallow
And I love my schizophrenic friends
Let's bury the axe
In your head

New York
New York
Run like a fever
New York
New York
I got to leave her, alone
No time to call
No time to call
We're in New York
I'm gonna leave her this time

The traffic lights are down
All over town
And I feel like we all died as one
Paranoid and needing
The pieces of your dreaming
It's lonely in the crowd
Knowing you're around

New York
New York
Run like a fever
New York
New York
Everyone’s been there
No time to call
No time to fall in love
New York

Your love won't last the train ride home
Your love won't last the train ride home

New York
New York
Running on fever
New York
New York
I’d like to believe her
No time to call
We’re seeing it all
We love New York

Your love won't last
It just drove past
Your love won't last
Going too fast

Jump or burn
Jump or burn baby
Jump or burn
Jump or burn
Jump or burn baby
