New York is far away from here

New York is far away from here

And you can see it in the rain

And you can see it in the cheap suits and the ties



It's just a fallen away frontier

It's just a fallen away frontier

And they are fencing it with fast food chains

And buildings that go up before your eyes



And you say everybody's marching to the same beat

Marching to the same beat of the drum

Everybody's thinking of the same thing

But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you



New York is far away from here

New York is far away from here

And you can see it in the coffee shops

And catch it from the corner of your eye



It's just a layer of thin veneer

It's just a layer of thin veneer

Then it stretches like a parking lot

That's swept up in a string of satellites



And you say everybody's marching to the same beat

Marching to the same beat of the drum

Everybody's thinking of the same thing

But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you



Full-moon rising up in the air tonight

Freight train coming through to catch a ride down one [Incomprehensible]

Think about my love, oh my sweater a little tighten up

The [Incomprehensible] at distance and I feel little better, you see



You say everybody's marching to the same beat

Marching to the same beat of the drum

Everybody's thinking of the same thing

But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you



New York is far away from here

New York is far away from here

And you can see it in the setting sun

See it just before you say goodbye



It's just a landscape of souvenirs

It's just a landscape of souvenirs

And I'm embarrassed to be human

I'm embarrassed that I want what I despise



You say everybody's marching to the same beat, yeah

Marching to the same beat of the drum

Everybody's thinking of the same thing

But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you
