New York is far away from here   New York is far away from here   And you can see it in the rain   And you can see it in the cheap suits and the ties      It's just a fallen away frontier   It's just a fallen away frontier   And they are fencing it with fast food chains   And buildings that go up before your eyes      And you say everybody's marching to the same beat   Marching to the same beat of the drum   Everybody's thinking of the same thing   But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you      New York is far away from here   New York is far away from here   And you can see it in the coffee shops   And catch it from the corner of your eye      It's just a layer of thin veneer   It's just a layer of thin veneer   Then it stretches like a parking lot   That's swept up in a string of satellites      And you say everybody's marching to the same beat   Marching to the same beat of the drum   Everybody's thinking of the same thing   But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you      Full-moon rising up in the air tonight   Freight train coming through to catch a ride down one [Incomprehensible]   Think about my love, oh my sweater a little tighten up   The [Incomprehensible] at distance and I feel little better, you see      You say everybody's marching to the same beat   Marching to the same beat of the drum   Everybody's thinking of the same thing   But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you      New York is far away from here   New York is far away from here   And you can see it in the setting sun   See it just before you say goodbye      It's just a landscape of souvenirs   It's just a landscape of souvenirs   And I'm embarrassed to be human   I'm embarrassed that I want what I despise      You say everybody's marching to the same beat, yeah   Marching to the same beat of the drum   Everybody's thinking of the same thing   But I will, I will, I will beg to differ with you
