It’s black, I’ve drawn the curtains
I’m lying here on the floor
I’m under your bad influence
And I’ve locked the door
I see your face in pictures
I read your name in lights
Your image keeps me going
Through the lonely nights
A real-life situation
For three days in my room
A taxi run at midnight
With the last tycoon
Addicted to my dreams of you
Going on and on and on
Till my awakening again
Around my room and down the hall
I’ve got all your pictures on the wall
I know you from the way you talk
And we’ll meet next time I’m in New York New York
You’ve shown me your true colours
Show me something wild
The vanities of working girl
And crazy child
From violent to pacific
The mean streets to the heights
I see your body double now
In blinding white
I’ve been there too, I’m thanking you
For the days and nights and weeks
And months and years of joy and tears
With Bobby, James and Melanie
In a weekend in your company
The furthest place I’ve ever been
Is a footstep from the TV screen
From sex and lies to teenage cool
I know all the words and all the moves
There’s nothing else I need to do
Till the morning sun comes shining through again
