New York (New York, State Of Mind)
Rock-Revue 2 Der Detektiv 1979
New York, du bist Wahnsinn
manchmal lieb' ich dich
manchmal hass' ich dich
Irrenhaus, Lustmaschine, Brandruine
du reckst deinen Schizokopf in die Wolken rein
doch unterm weißen Smoking
bist du dreckig wie ein Schwein
Ist 'n geiles Gefühl, wenn ich deine rote Sonne
überm Hudson seh
Leben aus den Vollen
wenn ich am Broadway steh
du bist Sehnsucht und Utopia
Paradies und Untergang
schön wie 'n Brillant von Tiffany
und unheilbar krank
und ich kauf mir 'n Paar Flügel
und fliege die Skyline entlang
New York, ich streun so gerne
durch deine tiefen Straßenschluchten
ich seh Superstars, die löffeln Kaviar
und saufen Champagner im Waldorf Astoria
doch ein paar Blocks um die Ecke
und schon siehst du die Endstation
ein Negerkind verhungert in Harlem
