New York Summer
Live
And forgive
It’s New York summer
Grieve
Don’t leave
It’s New York Summer
Fly
But don’t die
Lest faith be torn asunder
Survive
And thrive
It’s New York Summer
The policemen
And drug dealers
Are serenading you
The Yankees and
The Homeless
Want to rendezvous
On River Avenue
Its New York Summer
Cry
Don’t simply sigh
Its New York summer
Sweat
For respect
Its New York summer
Never look
Remotely shook
While visiting your mother
Sizzling pavement scenes
Big money dreams
Its New York summer
The actress and
Prostitute
Want to interrogate you
The Mets
And the Tourists
Wouldn’t know what to do
If they had to rescue you
Its New York Summer
