lyrics

Man, Can you spare some time?
Paint my pain into a starry night
I know, the stars ain’t a dime
But dreams are better in moonlight

All the drunks crowd me in the streets
And the great minds have left cafes
I ride the subway downtown and hear them big boys say

I’m a young girl in the city
I'm a young girl in the city
But I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my…

Man, can you bear your soul?
Lost my love down the avenue
Radio blasts, I’m free at last
All my tears slip through the sidewalk cracks

I am tired of all these old hands
Trying to tell me who I am
They all want to fill me up, but I ain’t, I ain't no station

I’m a young girl in the city
I’m a young girl in the city
But I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way

The whole world knows my name
I bust em’ out, shut em’ down, and hear them all say

Baby I wear red lips and white satin
I rumble around this little ole town called Manhattan

I’m a young girl in the city
I’m a young girl in the city
But I’ll find my way
I’ll find my way
I’ll find my
(young girl in the city)
I’ll find my way
(young girl in the city)
I’ll find my way
