Day is night in New York City Smoke, like water, runs inside Steel idle trees to pity Every living thing that's died Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Oh yeah Life is like the coldest winter People freeze the tears I cry Words of hail their minds are into I've got to crack this ice and fly Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time
