New York City
Vega feat Johnny Dangerous Lyrics

New York City spread herself before you
The city of New York presented herself with all her glamour and sparkling lights at your feet

With her bangles and her spangles and her stars
Her jewelry, her ornaments, and the shining lights amazed you

You were impressed with a city so undressed
You were fascinated by the city which lay bare and unhidden in front of you

You had to go out cruising all the bars
You had the urge to explore and enjoy the nightlife of the city by visiting various bars

Your business trip extended through the weekend
Your official business meeting turned into a leisure trip as it got extended till the weekend

Suburban boy here for your first time
Being the first time in the big city, you felt like a boy from a small town

From the twenty-seventh floor above the midtown roar
From the 27th floor of the building amidst the loud midtown noise, you witnessed a breathtaking view of the city

You were dazzled by her beauty and her crime
You were hypnotized by her charm and at the same time, the rising criminal activities in the city were clearly visible

And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
The city is like every female character you have seen in movies

Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
She is like the women you've seen on late-night TV shows

In her steam and steel is the passion you feel endlessly
The energy and strength of the city create an endless passion within you

New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
The city of New York is like a woman who could make you emotional and bring tears to your eyes

And to her you're just another guy
To the city, you are merely another individual with no special distinction

Look down and see her ruined places
If you witness the destroyed places of the city by looking down, you will understand the harsh truth

Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
The remains of the destructive events are still visible and scattered throughout the city

She's happy that you're here, but when you disappear
The city is glad you're here, but when you leave, she won't notice or bother

She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye
She won't be aware that you're gone and won't bid adieu

And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Again, the city is compared to every female character as depicted in the movies

Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
Similar to the previous line, she is like every woman you've seen on late-night TV

In her steam and steel is the passion you feel desperately
The city's effervescence and iron spirit install a sense of urgent and intense passion within you

New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
The city of New York is like a woman who can make you shed tears

And to her you're just another guy
To the city, you are no different from any other guy
