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
