On Broadway Songtext
von Gustaffson

Just like the snow in New York
You took me by surprise in New York
And opened my eyes to this glass bottom world
You′re my New York girl

A pocket full of beggars in the emptiness of Queens
It was Brooklyn at nighttime, the darkest I have been
And I was timing my steps to the clock in Times Square
False hoping you'd choose me again ′cause it's fair

But like the snow in New York
You took me by surprise in New York
And opened my eyes to this underground world
You're my New York girl
Oh, my New York girl
You′re my New York girl


Finding problems with our hotels in every avenue
What happened to excitement of the single bed for two?
And I′m lost in this forest and now our Bushwick's on fire
False hoping you′d choose me, I'm a tourist for hire

Just like a show on Broadway
Taught me to love loving the hard way
Opened my heart to this narcissist world
You′re my New York girl
Oh, my New York girl
You're my New York girl

My fifty cents a lights, back then you were nice
With a taste for the world and you embraced danger
And all the fishes have died
And all the people who tried
To break through your mold, they still do what they′re told
Come on

I lost my breath in New York
So scared to death by your flaws
No wonder she cries at the premiere night
You're my New York girl
