Hard Times in New York City — текст песни (Cat Power)

( live peel session 2000 )



Old new york city is a friendly old town,

From washington heights to harlem on down.

Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around,

Theyll knock you when youre up and kick you when youre down.



Its a mighty long ways from the golden gate

To rockefeller center n the empire state.

Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,

Old mister rockefeller never says a word.



From the country,

Livin down in new york town



From the country,

Livin down in new york town



Old new york city is a friendly old town,

From washington heights to harlem on down.

Theres a-mighty many people all millin all around,

Theyll knock you when youre up and kick you when youre down.



Its a mighty long ways from the golden gate

To rockefeller center n the empire state.

Mister empire sets up as high as a bird,

Old mister rockefeller never says a word.



From the country,

Livin down in new york town



From the country,

Livin down in new york town
