New York Songtext
von Peter Silberman

When my nerve wore down
I was assailed by simple little sounds
Hammer clangs, sirens in the park
Like i never heard new york
Blaring brakes, trapped trucks
Honking horns, hissing buses stuck
Shrieking trains barreling berserk
Like i never heard new york
When the room grew loud I learned to stand in the back
Behind the crowd
Dam canals with cork
Like i never heard new york
But when the walls gave way
I had to flee, i had to back away
As the whole town barked
Like i never heard new york
