See me dancing on easy street
Silhouettes in vogue and the vanity burn in the heat
High at dawn on some boulevard
A city ripped and torn and slowly reborn in the dark
Ecstasy and bravery in my moon
The headlights burn out the falling stars
As we fall into your room
My promise breaks in two
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
And Bobby said, “give the anarchist a cigarette"
I've got graffiti in my blood, a chrome engine in my chest
No looking backwards and no regrets
It's something important to remember but easier to forget
Run like hell before the straight world gets your throat
Can happy endings and coca-cola save our damaged souls?
We scream “never let me go”
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
So, let me go
Oh, let me go
I'm anything you want, a cowboy or a cop
But lover when you look my way
The only scene that I'll play is dying in your arms
Oh could you stand to be closer, shoulder to shoulder
Maybe living uptown till the kids get older?
This new world romance giving true love
Can we both let go now?
It's a beautiful world, can I please stay in it?
Life it goes by in a New York minute
There's wild roses still blooming in me
I'm gone in my head on a dream vacation
While history comes and starts the liberation
Through wild romance
Still calling the faithless out to believe
So, let me go
Oh, let me go
