Any way I look at it

The whole thing's built in parts

When we're attached we have our little bits
Am D
And some of them still linger in the autumn

You like your summers hot

When I get cold I like to have a winter then

Many happy people woke and cried
Hey did you witness it
C Bm
You wake up on that snowy day when no one is prepared for it
Am D
When the little boys got employed by the powder
Am D
They get their twenty dollars frozen on a counter
did I scream then?
(I will keep trying into the night that's passing through light)

Ahhhh, what were we singing?

Ahhhh, I can't believe this goodbye

My choice to be there on time

It's not my choice to be there on time ahhhh ahhhhhahh

But is your ficus fine, did you give it too much water?

Like your summer's hot and winter cold, goodbye my New York
