New York Minute

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing scattered somewhere down the track
And he won't be down on Wall Street in the mornin'

He had a home
The love of a girl
Men get lost sometimes
As years unfurled
One day he crossed a man and he was too much in this world
But I guess that doesn't matter any more

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute

Lyin' here in the darkness
You hear the sirens wail
Somebody goin' to an emergency
Somebody's goin' to jail
You find somebody to love in this world, you'd better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute

In these days
The darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You'd better take the fool's advice; take care of your own
'Cause one day they're here; next day they're gone

Threw my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were fallin' around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
And on some solitary rock, a desperate lover left his mark
He said, baby, I've changed; please come back

With the headlights cloudy
My heart makes very clear
You know the days were so much brighter
In the time that she was here
But I know that somebody somewhere can make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day I have to believe

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute

In a New York minute
Everything can change
In a New York minute
Things can get a little strange
In a New York minute
(Everything can change)
In a New York minute

In a New York minute, minute, minute
