Open your eyes, look the skies and stare Let yourself in, unload your sins and pray Listen to the streets, feel it through feet, and i will be there Listen to the streets, feel it through feet, and i will be there When all your friends skip the end, i will be around here And when you're lonely this city sings you to sleep Puts its arms around you. This city's shining like a goldmine Harpooned and dragging me to shoreline, now Night comes and i'm glowing in the pub lights Belly up and i'm begging for the sunshine, now Open your eyes, look the skies and stare Let yourself in, unload your sins and pray When all your friends skip the end, i will be around here And when you're lonely this city sings you to sleep Puts its arms around you. And if you've nowhere to go, there's only one place i know Its the village it will drown you. Ninth street and avenue b, i miss the days Pack up my suitcase and fly away
