Music and lyrics by Steve Hartsoe

V1
When you’re lost in New York City and it’s almost Christmas time
The world outside’s a Twitter feed the dopamine’s gone dry
I’m looking for a scapegoat for everything that’s wrong
I’m looking for a reason and somewhere to belong

V2
I’m wearing boots of Spanish leather down on Bleecker street
Reading Ezra Pound in French but no one notice me
Blue lights shining on the sidewalk from the Cafe Wha?
And blue is the light that used to burn bright in my heart

Chorus
Oooo
Oooooo New York Dues
New York Dues

V3
So I catch a ride on the D Train that’s bound for Central Park
And wait for the ghost of St. Jude to give me another shot
Make my way to Dakota where I hang my head and cry
And curse Mark David Chapman for that awful night
