Ballad of NYC - Fun Lovin' Criminals

Sand in my socks,

and tears in my eyes,

blood on my hands,

and smoke in the skies.

My brothers are gone

and i’m numb to the pain,

can’t pick up the phone,

now i’m dreamin again…

y’all can’t relate

i’m all by myself

where can i turn.

When there’s nobody else.

i’m back in the world.

And i’m livin your lie

i smile at the girls.

But i’m dying inside…

Where do i begin?

New York city.

The place that has become my friend

i’ve walked my pain

over your streets

once again

yet you’re always there for me

for me…

I’m on the westside.

And i’m down by the river

my dog starts to bark.

And the wind starts to whimper.

There’s not enough time

to leave it all behind,

I see all you love

my voice in your mind…

Drag the river for my soul.

And dust my sugar from the fold.

Although my sins are gettin cold.

Drag the river for my soul.

Where do i begin?

New York city.

The place that has become my friend.

I’ve walked my pain over your’s streets once again…

Yet you’re always there for me

Drag the river for my soul.

And dust my sugar from the fold

although my sins are gettin cold.

Drag the river for my soul.

Where do i begin?

New York city.

The place that has become my friend

i’ve walked my pain

over your streets once again…

yet your’e always there for me

…for me.

Where do i begin?

New York city.

The place that has become my friend

i’ve walked my pain

over your streets once again…

yet your’e always there for me

…for me.
