Verse 1
GThink there's a line that I crossed somewhere over the Amborder
'Cos I Cbroke every rule you had written in your little Gbook
Singing GNeil Young songs to the ones who, like lambs to the Amslaughter
Are Ccombing their hair and selling stories about drugs they Gtook
Verse 2
And Renee she thinks that all of her prayers have been answered
When she stands under the lights to make those six wires sing
But the truth is those strings are just pulled by a roomful of chancers
And there's nothing original, not even original sin
Chorus
And I want to Emrun run run fast as I Ccan
Let those Amgrey gloves wrap their fingers around my Gheart
I want to Emrun run run so far from Chere
'Till the Amstreets of Manhattan just tear this waster aCpart
No I don't wanna Gtalk, I wanna dance in CNew York
I wanna dance in New GYork
(Chords are pretty much the same throughout the rest of the song, except for an extra 
at the very end)
Verse 3
Well I heard a breeze blow like a ghost riding out cross the ocean
And the smell of the midsummer sun dripping down through the blue
It's so easy to drift through these things with your eyes half open
Looking out for the prize lining up all the things left to prove
Verse 4
And who would have thought that a year on I'd be where I'm standing
Half singing a song to a person I've only half met
But I have fought like a wildcat for space and understanding
And boy let me tell you I'm not done fighting yet
Chorus
'Cos I want to run run run fast as I can
Let those grey gloves wrap their fingers around my heart
I want to run run run so far from here
'Till the streets of Manhattan just tear this waster apart
No I don't wanna talk, I wanna dance in New York
I wanna dance in New York
Verse 5
So sing to me all of you children of one minute wonder
Sing it out like you've always wanted to do
I will dance in the street no matter who's sky I am under
You sing it out and I'll sing it straight back to you
Chorus
Then let me run run run fast as I can
Let those grey gloves wrap their fingers around my heart
I want to run run run so far from here
'Till the streets of Manhattan just tear this waster apart
No I don't wanna talk, I wanna dance in New York
I wanna dance in New AmYork
I wanna dance in New GYork
