NYC is Dead - Tor Miller

All the bars on Bowery

Have closed their doors on Christmas Eve

Broken bottles in the street

Oh, hallelujah, don’t let them fool ya

I’m one in a million

Praying the snow falls in time

That all will be quiet

And Santa stays sober tonight

And bullets may fly

Over the lower east side

Right over my head, over my head

And New York City is dead

Snowflakes over Central Park

Dirtied by the passing cars

Blackens every beating heart

Oh, hallelujah, it runs right through ya

I’m one in a million

Praying the snow falls in time

That all will be quiet

And Santa stays sober tonight

And bullets may fly

Over the lower east side

Right over my head, over my head

And New York City is dead

From Brownstone cowboy, bankers' wives

To the paper bag of warm cyanide

It’s never quiet, always bright

Oh, hallelujah, so what’s it to ya?
