24 Hours In New York City Lyrics

I was a tenor in the high school choir
She was kind of our homecoming queen
But I had a car and she had a credit card for gasoline
She got wasted at a basement party
And started talking about all of her dreams
I flapped my arms like a chicken
And I got her to laugh at me
Now she's sleeping in the passenger seat
Skyline rising in front of me

24 hours in New York City
Grab that apple right off of the tree
Pull into Grand Central Station and be who we wanna be
Fresh off the boat from a land locked ocean
Lit a smoke in the land of the free
Held it up in the air like the Statue of Liberty
We got 24 hours in New York City

Saxophone in the subway station
Couple bucks and a Yankee's cap
Cheap cologne and ammonia dance their way down the tracks
Up the stairs into a concrete jungle
Taxi cabs like a pride of lions
Come on Jane time's a wasting
Let's go swinging on those power line vines

24 hours in New York City
Grab that apple right off of the tree
Pull into Grand Central Station and be who we wanna be
Fresh off the boat from a land locked ocean
Lit a smoke in the land of the free
Held it up in the air like the Statue of Liberty
We got 24 hours in New York City


She said I feel like I'm awake and dreaming
I kissed her under the Empire State
We both know which one it is
And which one it ain't

24 hours in New York City
It's just 24 hours in New York City
We're just 24 hours in New York City
We got 24 hours in New York City
New York City
