00:00The sun shines most of the time, the feeling is laid back, palm trees grow and rents are
00:28low but you know I keep thinkin' about makin' my way back, look at me, well I'm New York
00:40City born and raised, nowadays I'm lost between two shores, L.A.'s fine but it ain't home,
00:55New York's home but it ain't mine no more, I am a city to no one there, and no one there,
01:19not even the chair, I am, I cry, I am the city and I am lost, I can't even see why,
01:45leavin' me lonely still, did you ever read about the frog who dreamed of bein' a king,
02:07and who became one, except for the names and a few other changes, talk about me, the story's the same one,
02:25but I've got an emptiness deep inside and I'm tryin' but it won't let me go, and I'm not a man who likes to swear but
02:44I never cared for the sound of bein' alone, I am a city to no one there, and no one there, not even the chair,
03:15I am, I cry, I am the city and I am lost and I can't even see why,
03:35leavin' me lonely still, did you ever read about the frog who dreamed of bein' a king,
03:58oh no, well it's fine, the sun shines most of the time, oh no, oh no, no, no, oh no,
04:28no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
