New York State of Mind

electronic intro

[lead synth][beat joins in]

[verse][soulful jazz female vocalist]

Bright lights, big buzz,

City nights, neon signs,

Dancing through, midnight blue,

Every street's got a beat,

leading back to you

beat crescendo

Feel alive, take a dive

into something true

Times Square glow, watch it flow,

people rushing by

Subway trains, city rains,

reaching for the sky

[refrain][chorus]

New York state of mind, New York state of mind,

New York state of mind, one of a kind,

New York state of mind, this is where I breathe

City nights, neon signs, set my spirit free

Bright lights, big buzz, it's where I wanna be

it's a New York state of mind, ooh oh oh

it's a New York state of mind, uuuuh uh uh

Dont you feel right at home in here?

Is there anywhere else you would rather be?

male vocal joins in

Brooklyn bridge at dawn,

sun breaks through the haze

Manhattan dreams, or so it seems,

in a concrete maze

Little cafes, Broadway plays,

sirens in the night

Yellow cabs, pizza slabs,

everything feels right

Empire views, paying dues,

chasing what I need

chorus

New York state of mind, New York state of mind,

New York state of mind, one of a kind,

New York state of mind, this is where I breathe

City nights, neon signs, set my spirit free

Bright lights, big buzz, it's where I wanna be

it's a New York state of mind, ooh oh oh

it's a New York state of mind, uuuuh uh uh

Dont you feel right at home in here?

Is there anywhere else you would rather be?
