May 5. New York's Ignoring Me

New York’s ignoring me
With her bright lights shining I’m in shadows
That don’t even turn to see
New New York’s Ignoring me

New York’s Ignoring me
When she smiles you know she’s not faking
Except when she’s paid to get taken
But New York’s ignoring me

She’s in love with these men who’ve never got time
Never got time
They scream and they yell
And they curse her to hell
But she loves them
Like she loves a good time

And New York’s ignoring me
The cabbies drive by with their fares full
And the beggars go mute if they see me
Yes New York’s ignoring me.
