lyrics

This town is all about the money
Don't talk to me if you ain't got the stuff
Hands down we're fabulous and funny
but no one ever seems to get enough
And you'll die before you stop
Climbing your way up to the top
Because this town
And this crowd
Is so New York

This scene is all about the fashion
Don't talk to me if you ain't got the style
These teams are ready for action
They hide their daggers back behind their smiles
And they'll stab you right in the back
Before you get ahead of the pack
Because this scene
And these queens
Are so New York

And you won't ever get away
Once you have learned to live that way
Suspended adolescence
Convenience at it's essence
The perfect urban hideaway

This place is all about ambition
Don't talk to me if you ain't got the drive
It's fast paced, there's endless competition
But baby girl only the strong survive
and they'll work you down to the bone
Until you're there just lost and alone
Because this place
And this pace
Is so New York

And you won't ever get away
Once you have learned to live that way
Suspended adolescence
Convenience at it's essence
One more suburban runaway

This town is all about the money
Don't talk to me Don't talk to me
It's fast paced, there's endless competition
Don't talk to me Don't talk to me
And you'll die before you stop
Climbing your way up to the top
Because this town
And these crowds
And this place
And this pace
Is so New York
