Ginger elvis presley looked a fraction sad[00:00:34]

Roaming the whole town from bin to bin[00:00:37]

Well living on the streets wasnt all that bad[00:00:43]

Where no-one seemed to know that he was king[00:00:47]

The sound of new york city[00:00:52]

Isnt police sirens wailing[00:00:55]

Its the sound of wall street tills[00:00:58]

Whilst everyone is failing[00:01:00]

Sometimes you feel expensive[00:01:03]

Sometimes you feels so cheap[00:01:07]

You can roam the streets a king[00:01:09]

Whilst everyones asleep[00:01:12]

You can mime to any record[00:01:14]

With a hairbrush or a spoon[00:01:17]

But God help the singer out of tune[00:01:20]

A crippled mohammad ali[00:01:25]

Looked at bad luck in the mirror[00:01:36]

Bad luck looked back at him and sighed[00:01:39]

He looked a good foot smaller[00:01:45]

And a couple of stone thinner[00:01:46]

And if anyone came toward him[00:01:49]

He would hide[00:01:51]

The sound of north america[00:01:53]

Isnt christians quietly praying[00:01:55]

Its the sound of shuffling feet[00:01:58]

That dont know where theyre going[00:02:01]

Sometimes you feel expensive[00:02:05]

Sometimes you feels so cheap[00:02:08]

You can roam the streets a king[00:02:10]

Whilst everyones asleep[00:02:13]

You can fight with anybody[00:02:15]

With a glimmer of a chance[00:02:18]

But God help the boxer with no hands[00:02:20]

A homeless greta garbo[00:02:26]

Moves across the street[00:02:37]

The moonlight shining clearly[00:02:38]

Through her skirt[00:02:41]

A real life living legend[00:02:45]

That no-one wants to meet[00:02:47]

And thats when being garbo[00:02:50]

Really hurts[00:02:52]

The lyrics of new york[00:02:55]

May have frank sinatra singing[00:02:56]

But the rhythm and the melody[00:02:59]

Were dead black men swinging[00:03:02]

Sometimes you feel expensive[00:03:04]

Sometimes you feels so cheap[00:03:08]

You can roam the streets a queen[00:03:11]

Whilst everyones asleep[00:03:14]

You can act with anybody[00:03:16]

From the cradle to the crypt[00:03:18]

But God help the actress[00:03:21]

Who doesnt know the script[00:03:23]
