NEW YORK SKYLINE^©

Live 06 Dec 2001 version

Baby G, she's a vaudeville queen
She looked the ragtime in the night
I know I'm gonna miss my baby G
She treats me oh so right
But the New York skyline it's calling me home tonight
Female, feline, feminine, she's been making my world so right, so bright

We got hindsight, we got foresight
Sometimes we got no sight at all
New love, got me a true love
Sometimes I got no love at all
But the New York skyline it's calling me home tonight
Female, feline, feminine, she's been making my world so right, so bright

New York skyline
New York skyline
New York skyline
New York skyline
I can see those city lights
New York skyline
I can feel those neon signs
New York skyline
Bright lights, big city, yeah, yeah, yeah
New York skyline
Well it must be modern time
New York skyline
We got the Empire State
New York skyline
We got the Chrysler Building
New York skyline
We got the Pan-Am Building
New York skyline
We got the Flat Iron Building
New York skyline
We got those two big old towers
New York skyline
Way downtown
New York

New York
New York
New York
New York

New York skyline
New York, New York
Skyline
New York skyline
New York, I'm going to New York
I'm going to New York
I'm going to New York
I'm going to New York
I'm going to New York
Going to New York
