Quebec Echo - New York Isn't Real

She taunts me with the tip of her tongue
She haunts me with the breath of her lung
All her promises I've hung
She shimmers on the edge of my view
All I want is an afternoon
Have what she's having too

I've seen movies
And I've read books
And they all told me
Get a closer look

New York
New York isn't real
That New York
I've never been
Still

She dances in and out of my head
Her stance is that I'm better off dead
Be thankful my name's been said

The offer to a kid
Is the chance to say I did
I know it's insipid

I've heard music
Gives me clues
So with sadness I must
Start spreading the news

New York
New York isn't real
Old New York
I've never been
Still

No more big displays
No more broadway plays
No more big displays
No more broadway plays
No more JFK
Nothing there to stay
No more New Year's Eve
Nothing there to leave
