lyrics

6 flights Up in a Slum and it's raining
Looking out of the window with a heart full of pain
6 flights Up in my imagination
I can see the future in the wind and rain
Your kisses are warm and gentle
You may be my lover, you may be my friend
But here is a girl who loves the sky
loves to hear the birds cry when the day begins
And all that is is beating with these raindrops
My spirit's flying over the roof tops
I know the sun, is hiding behind this rain

New York City You're a Beautiful Nightmare
I love you baby but I'm going away
NYC your's a beautiful nightmare
but I'm saying goodbye to the big city rain

Glamorous Man what you need is a model
and NYs got acres of professional skin
What I really need is a farmer
A man to love me through thick and thin
He's an apple picker he's a potato digger he's a corn stripper
and he loves the rain
But NYC your rain means nothing it runs into the gutter
and down the drain

NY City You're a beautiful nightmare

Oh I'll put my tears in a bottle,
Go down to the river and float them away
