lyrics
Poetry will get you
nowhere
The dark clouds
will tear you apart
The kids are fine
The kids are alright
New York is a monster
It swallows you up
and spits you out
People try to help you
But their words mean nothing
A broken heart
can't be fixed
They shock you
They block you
But it's too late
Much too late
The only way out
is to go in
The end to you
A new start to me
nowhere
The dark clouds
will tear you apart
The kids are fine
The kids are alright
New York is a monster
It swallows you up
and spits you out
People try to help you
But their words mean nothing
A broken heart
can't be fixed
They shock you
They block you
But it's too late
Much too late
The only way out
is to go in
The end to you
A new start to me
