New York was a blur, her face is flushed
As if a bitter cold Brooklyn shook it out as if it touched
She says, I used to sleep without a stir
But these nights I toss and turn
While everything I love is caught between, caught between

So settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it's lost on you, settle into

New York was a blur, the streets ran wild
With the lights and sounds for youth on trial
The air is crisp with smoke as we tread the streets alone
Slipping in and out of bars as we battle our way home

So settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it's lost on you, I'm settling into something I should do

Come on ma'am, please see me off
I depart at quarter to, you've only lost
A couple of minutes of the time we've left

Chase that lush with a drink, she says
I have got bigger problems than this
It was that faith that I could find us a home
But I'm damn sure this cities swallowed me whole

Settle New York, wipe the frost off of Brooklyn
'Til it's lost on you, I'm settling into something I should do

Come on ma'am, please see me off
I depart at quarter to, you've only lost
A couple of minutes of the time we've left

New York was a blur, the colors flushed
As if a bitter cold Brooklyn shook it out as if it touched
She says, I used to sleep without a stir
But these nights I toss and turn
[Incomprehensible] caught between, caught between
