New York City can be so loud
I want to see some fishes swimming around
All these people are driving me insane
I want to see some polar bears playing
Nature program, nature program
You're all I want to know
Let me fall asleep tonight in your glow

Whatever I drag out of that river
I believe it’s a good day’s work
The only words I’ve said today are "yes ma’am" and "yes sir"
But I believe I was cut from a different kind of stone
And the troubles I make are my own
My heart is not weary
My throat is not dry
I’d walk to the end of the world just to wave goodbye
To these dreams that have passed before my eyes
Whatever I pull out of that dirt
I believe it was there all the time
And if I don’t find it today
I’ll leave it for someone else to find
But the days go fast
And I try to be true
And maybe that’s all that any of us can do

It strips the bark of the trees when the winds cuts through
It sure makes a man feel small
You and I could get
Something that we might regret
Going in no time at all
The rain on the water is hard as it comes
Washes away the sea wall
You and I could get
Something that we might regret
Going in no time at all
Raise up your eyes your eyes to mine
Raise up your eyes to mine
The sky is all covered up by the weather
And the stars need somewhere to shine
I know these kind of troubles
They rise up like bubbles
And land like bricks when they fall
You and I could get
Something that we might regret
Going in no time at all
This could break every window
And every wall in the house
And then go away screaming
Or crawl away soft as a mouse
I followed these footprints
They came from a distance
And they led me right here to your hall
You and I could get
Something that we might regret
Going in no time at all
