DESCRIPTION:
she said come to me
ill give you anything you like
fashionable octobers
and warm summer nights.
if youve got a dream, im the place to be
a million men will die fighting just to
be at my need.
Now i'm underground measuring what i'm worth
gave her a couple dollars more
but things have gotten worse
subway full of prophets
and men who've gone mad
they gave this woman nearly everything they've ever had.
my pockets are lonely
the change don't make cents
feels like i'm living only to afford rent
the rich are getting richer, and i'm somewhere in between
island boys flying back home
saying " it ain''t what it seems".

take your peace ,take your peace , take your piece.

chorus:
Oh new york please take care of me
in the grip of lady liberty is where i wanna be
i imagine my children walking down these same streets
give your best, give your best to me


verse 2:
father came here to illuminate the lights
mother speaks like Brooklyn
she did it all just to survive
a couple got evicted
they blanket the street
well we make " too little to live great, but just enough to eat".
outside our tenements we share our story
of master degrees
without success or promised glory
these drugs and opportunity
such charm i still adore thee
i'll do anything you like God
but please do something for me, for me

Chorus

Bridge: before the apple gets rotten, or the people rebel
against your addiction, your unbreakable spell
before the coffee gets cold and the lights go out
or the spirits of everyone migrate
down.

chorus:
Oh new york please take care of me
in the grip of lady liberty is where i wanna be
i imagine my children walking down these same streets
give your best
give your best to me
