Ballad of NYC lyrics - Fun Lovin' Criminals song

Sand in my socks.
Tears in my eyes
blood on my hands,
And smoke in the skies
My brothers are gone
but I'm numb to the pain
Can't pick up the phone.
Now I'm dreaming again
Y'all can't relate
I'm all by myself
Where can I turn.
When there's nobody else
I'm back in the world.
And I'm living your lie
I smile at the girls.
But I'm dying inside

Where do U begin?
New York City.
The place that has become my friend
I've walked my pain over your streets once again
Yet you're always there for me

I'm on the westside.
And I'm down by the river
My dog starts to bark.
And the wind starts to whimper
There's not enough time.
To leave it all behind
See all you love my voice in your mind...
Drag the river for my soul.
And dust my sugar from the fold.
Although my sins are getting cold.
Drag the river for my soul

Where do I begin?
New York City.
The place that has become my friend.
I've walked my pain over your streets once again...
Yet you're always there for me
Drag the river for my soul.
And dust my sugar from the fold
Although my sins are getting cold.
Drag the river for my soul.

Where do I begin?
New York City.
The place that has become my friend
I've walked my pain over your streets once again...
Yet you're always there for me
