New York Lonely Boy Songtext
von The Milk Carton Kids

New York lonely boy
The city′s full of New York lonely boys
No brother or sister, just one little mister
He's just another New York lonely boy

New York lonely boy
His pants are always spiffy, only sibling is the city
His playground is the lobby, has a palate for wasabi
The Strand is his Disneyland
He′s just another New York lonely boy

New York lonely boy
The city's full of New York lonely boys
Forget the Power Rangers, he prefers small talk with strangers
He's just another New York lonely boy


He′s a boy who′s never been punched or kicked
Just observed and enriched
Felt hat, spotless cheese
He likes savory ice creams
He's a boy who′s never seen Chuck E. Cheese
Just a host of documentaries
Expertly mixes plaids
Best friends are mom and dad

New York lonely boy
He has a favorite font, trick or treats at a restaurant
Can't wait ′til tomorrow to wake up to Michael Barbaro
He loves couples in their 40s, dazzles dinner parties with his stories
A sophisticated toddler, naming pigeons isn't odd for
Another New York, a sweet and gentle New York
Another New York lonely boy
