Friday night in New York City Release the hounds in Central Park Fires burn on the horizon Run, don't walk Say goodbye to Broadway Howling cries and dogs of war Screams and sirens on the tv The buildings shake and they rattle the cars Coney Island sinks back in the ocean The power's flickering and then it goes off Horses run free, helicopters and police The shelves are empty in department stores So long So long So long So long (So long) (So long) Friday night in New York City The party's just about to start Close down the bridge We puke and we cry Everything's in flames And Barneys is half full We're out of time And storming the tower Goodbye
