The lights are bright In the dead of night Nowhere to stay Just walk away City’s dark In Central Park Sleep in the cold We’ll never grow old One Sixty-fourth Street Hoping I don’t meet Policeman on his beat If I do, I know I’ll run Oops he got a gun Looking for some fun Aims it at the sun Hit someone! On the rooftop But he wont stop He’s a bad cop Only the good drop Oh no!!! New York City Drug infested rat hole It used to be pretty But now the town has lost its soul Homeless people Crack smack evil Everybody’s Trying to be somebody else Black and white Day and night Trying to find out Who the hell is right Or wrong!!! The lights are bright In the dead of night Nowhere to stay Just walk away City’s dark In Central Park Sleep in the cold We’ll never grow old Subways and street gangs They’re all part of the city And in this town everybody’s Looking oh so, oh so pretty All the people all over town Acting like no one cares They will never be part of your world And you wont be part of theirs Let’s go!!! The lights are bright In the dead of night Nowhere to stay Just walk away City’s dark In Central Park Sleep in the cold We’ll never grow old We’ll never grow old… …yeah we’ll never grow old
