The northeast, well, it's all I really know
With dust and bricks, and some cars in the snow
It's like New York in the late summer time
Can breathe again even through this lovely grime
As I said, the skyline's brighter tonight
But this time I turned on five more lights
It's like New York in the late summer time
Can breathe again and your bones, they feel alive
I've got the northeast on my side
