Lyrics
Verse 1
3am and we're starting to drown in a west end bar in Soho Town, unconditionally
Electric night and it starts to rain so we make our way to the subway train, indiscriminately
Chorus 1
If you hear a sound
Like rhapsody in blue
Then that's the sound of a town serenading you.
Verse 2
Absorb the cities vibrancy as we stroll through musical dynasty, unassumingly.
You lose yourself in Gershwin tune as the violins soar to a full blue moon, prepossessingly
Chorus 2 & 3
Your electronic beat
And your filter sweep
Takes me back to New York New York on a twilight street
Verse 3 (Outro)
3 am and he's starting to fade like Juliet's poisoned serenade
He left her tragically
