There's diamonds in the avenue

As the dayshift turns to night

In the Empire dinner dreaming

Hard rain fluorescent lights

As the waitress fills my coffee cup

And the working girls go by

Drenched Irish Cops are dreaming s*x

And peep show alibis

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

I see the miracles in real time

And there's one I've loved the best

See there's an angel on the D train

Flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl

Times Square looks like Avalon

In a Disney morphine dream

Dylan Thomas rides a white horse drunk

At the counter next to me

I wake up in her bed sometimes

And watch her as she sleeps

In the silence and the sirens

I pray her soul to keep

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

I see the miracles in real time

And there's one I've loved the best

See there's an angel on the D train

Flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl

The Catherine wheel burns bright tonight

Down on the avenue

But nowhere near as bright my love

As the fire that burns for you

Everything underneath the skyline

From the east side to the west

Of the lives I've lived and those I've known

There is one I've loved the best

See there's an angel on the D train

Flying to my world

And I'm waiting for a New York City Girl

Waiting for a New York City Girl

Waiting for my life ture begin

Yeah baby

New York City Girl

Waiting for my life

A New York City Girl
