New York City Lyrics

I'm at the Riviera

And you're at the Ritz

Yeah I'm sure we can co-exist

But I kinda hoped we'd be better off than this

Watching you aristocrats

Parading in front of rats

Makes me think I should just pack

Up and leave but you know i'd be back

New York City's out of style for cheap

Cause you know I can't afford anything

I say New York City's out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever wanna leave at all

I run through such great heights

But still you take the crown

Standing on the shoulder of giants

From luxury apartments

Do you bother to look back down

At those stuck under your feet

Crowding the busy streets

When good things just don't come cheap

Man you gotta love to hate it in

New York City's out of style for cheap

Cause you know I can't afford anything

I say New York City's out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever wanna leave at all

Watching the days go by

Busy drowning in the lights

Maybe I should stop with second guessing

Oh wouldn't it be nice

If I could settle down and feel at home

New York City's out of style for cheap

And you know I don't ever wanna leave

New York City's out of style for cheap

So how can anyone afford anything

I say New York City's out of style for cheap

And it's always just way too loud in here turn it down

But it's not my city without

These sirens calling me out

Yeah, these rags to riches

They keep me counting wishes

And maybe I should ditch this

But these views are just holding me back
