Modern Love Child - In a City

I start my day on 86th and Lex
I make my way downtown on the 4 express.
I see a Spanish girl in a red dress
She’s got big brown eyes, looking for sex

And all these hipsters trying to hard
And all the yuppies stare at my guitar.
I see a banker with his perfect life
He’s got all the money that money can buy

Well it’s getting really hard to dream
In a city that never sleeps.

I don’t fit the mould.
I never been afraid of growing old.
I find out where I am around 3am
And I don’t know where to go.
I’m just trying to land on my feet.
But I’m never quite up to speed.
I find out who I am, around 3am.
The last dreamer on the street.

In a city, that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.

I see my family on the upper east side
I’m under dressed and they think I’m high.
They ask about the songs I write.
We’re all related so I keep it light

Well it’s getting really hard to dream
In a city that never sleeps.

I don’t fit the mould.
I never been afraid of growing old.
I find out where I am around 3am
And I don’t know where to go.
I’m just trying to land on my feet.
But I’m never quite up to speed.
I find out who I am, around 3am.
The last dreamer on the street.

In a city, that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.

Maybe I should move the suburbs.
And find a significant other.
Because a white picket fence is the best defence against the world outside.

I don’t fit the mould.
I never been afraid of growing old.
I find out who I am, around 3am.
The last dreamer on the street.

In a city, that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.
In a city that never sleeps.
