Fast Paws Broke The Heart Of Nyc Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come from near and come from far
To fortune make, ride yellow cars
Send some back for ma and pa
See the sights and reach the stars when
Once upon a stormy night
Nature drew its jagged knife
The skies poured out with all their might
Deluged every shining light

[Chorus]
Broke the heart of New York City

Drowned the streets that held no pity

[Verse 2]
Washed up in the gutters, only
Overwhelmed and overflowing
Fever pitched and minds exploding
Paralysed by fear foreboding when
Once upon a stormy night
Nature drew its jagged knife
The skies unleashed with all their might
Deluged every shining light

[Chorus]
Broke the heart of New York City

Drowned the streets that held no pity

[Bridge]
And how the floods grew and grew, sweeping them all away
And how the surge threw and threw, flushing them down the drain
Onto the wings of a dove, cruising, all out of pain
Unto the Man in the Moon, once again and again

[Chorus]
Broke the heart of New York City

Drowned the streets that held no pity
