I've put on, something you can't switch off I hope I don't cry But I know I will And you know how it feels On the north side, on the south side They sing along when you switch on You switch on for the city Well I'm gone from the city Come on strong winds move on You belong in the city I'm wrong for the city Switch on a sad song when I'm gone When in New York, I stay indoors Go into the city and switch up the pity On the train, someone says Something about how Jesus saves But I'm too lost, to be found You put on a good face when I wasn't around On the east side On the west side They sing along when you switch on They sing along when you switch on You switch on for the city Well I'm gone from the city Come on strong winds, move on You belong in the city I'm wrong for the city Switch on a sad song when I'm gone
