I'm in a New York state of mind. Out of touch with the rhythym and blues But now I need a little give and take The New York Times, the Daily News. It comes down to reality, and it's fine with me cause I've let it slide. I don't care if it's Chinatown or

Keep a place for me, for me It's nothing, it's nothing Know you gotta leave, leave, leave Take down some summer time Give up, just tonight, night, night Know you got someone comin' You're spitting game, oh you got it I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing

We're safe and sound (Safe and sound) You could be my luck I know that we'll be safe and sound I could lift you up I could show you what you want to see And take you where you want to be Even if the sky is falling down Safe and sound

Where the elite always meet Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams Or just how much it really means The land of dreams where I can lose My Basin Street blues Now won't you come along with me To the Mississippi? We'll take a trip to the land of dreams

I'm on my way Tell everybody I'm on my way New friends and new places to see With blue skies ahead yes With the sun beating down yes (I'm on my way now) And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be And I'm loving every step I take

If you let me put it a little into ya For so long I've been tryin' to get into ya Now girl it's your turn to take the reins Now show me what you're gonna do 'Cause girl I got your remedy Can't put down girl get down Help it's too late 'cause it's 'bout
