lyrics

Saving New York

She liked yoga, her dog,
Long walks through the fog
Friends, hanging out with them,
Having fun with them
Food. She liked food.
She specifically mentioned
She liked Thai, Italian, and Japanese

She liked quotes with deep thoughts
Typed in italic font
That would summarize world in a couple of words
She liked traveling places
That looked all the same
Where she could have sex on the beach
And drink it too

She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked
She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked

The wave goes splash
The wind goes howl
The wave goes splash
The wind goes howl

Dark times in New York
Children eaten by cancer
Too many DJ’s
But not enough dancers
Not enough drugs
On the streets of east village
Village is pillaged,
Boy, it is pillaged!

She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked
She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked

One cold winter morning
She heard a knock on the door.
The whole town came together
Cuz they thought she were
Able to save New York City’s Five boroughs
With sacrificial death
For better tomorrows
The mayor himself
Took her by the arm
As they silently marched Across FDR
Then New Yorkers returned
To their homes to sit shiva
As she took her last Sip of East River

She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked
She liked activities, activities
Outdoor activities she liked

The wave goes splash
The wind goes howl
The wave goes splash
The wind goes howl
