This mess we're in and

 

Can you hear them, the helicopters?

I'm in New York, no need for words now

We sit in silence, you look me in the eye directly

You met me, I think it's Wednesday, the evening

The mess we're in, and, oh, the city sun sets over me

Oh, the city sun sets over me

Night and day I dream of making love to you now, baby

Love-making on-screen, impossible dream

And I have seen the sunrise over the river

The freeway reminding of this mess we're in 

And oh, the city sun sets over me

Oh, the city sun sets over me

Oh, the city sun set over me

Oh, the city sun sets over me

What were you wanting? (what was it you wanted?)

I just want to say (I just want to say)

Don't ever change (don't ever change now, baby)

And thank you (and thank you)

I don't think we will meet again (I don't think we will meet again)

You must leave now before the sun rises above the skyscrapers

(And you must leave now)

And the city landscape (before the sunrise)

Comes into view (above skyscrapers)

Sweat on my skin, and oh (the sin)

And this mess we're in

And oh, the city sun sets over me

Oh, the city sun set over me
