Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or to Hollywood
But I’m takin’ a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I’m in a New York state of mind
It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There’s an old man sitting next to me
Making love to his tonic and gin
Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright?
It don’t seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life; I thought I was divine.
Elemental light, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
Elemental light, she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful
Elemental light, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
Elemental light, she’s beautiful, she’s beautiful
I’ve found a better place
Elemental light, you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful
1-2-3, oh, that’s how elementary
It’s gonna be
C’mon, let’s fall in love
It’s easy (it’s so easy)
Like takin’ candy (like takin’ candy) from a baby
It’s so easy to fall in love…
That’s why I’m easy,
I’m easy like Sunday morning.
But I’m easy
I’m easy
Take my hand and pull me down
I won’t put up any fight
Because I’m easy
I’ve been uptight and made a mess,
But I’ll clean it up myself, I guess.
Oh, the sweet smell of success.
Handle me with care.
Remember the Robin Williams routine about Elmer Fudd singing Fire? Try singing New York State of Mind like Elmer Fudd. 
Some folks wike to get away, take a howwiday from the neighborhood
Hop a fwight to Miami Beach or to Howwywood
But I’m takin’ a Gweyhound on the Hudson Wiver wine
I’m in a New York state of mind
I 'm a travelling man…
Like the pine trees lining the winding road
I got a name, I got a name
Like the singing bird and the croaking toad
I got a name, I got a name
And I carry it with me like my daddy did
But I’m living the dream that he kept hid
Moving me down the highway
Rolling me down the highway
Moving ahead so life won’t pass me by
The time’s real short, you know the distance is long
I’d like to have a jet but it’s not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep moving if we’re going to make a buck
Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll
Ventura highway in the sunshine
Where the days are longer
The nights are stronger,
Than moonshine…
Your gonna go I know…
L.A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down and buy a car
In a week, maybe two, they’ll make you a star
Weeks turn into years. How quick they pass
And all the stars that never were
Are parking cars and pumping gas
I can’t look at the Stars, if I know you, you’ve gone too far, so I can’t look at the Stars…
It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undone
If you want to destroy my sweater
Hold this thread as I walk away
Watch me unravel, I’ll soon be naked
Lying on the floor (lying on the floor)
I’ve come undone
The coat of many colors Momma made for me…
In coats of many colours
Reptile man drop
Stay below
Stay below
Stay below
Stay below
Temperature drop
America’s a boyfriend
Untouched by flesh of hand
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Heartbeat under
Some promised land
Love song
Love song
Love song
Love song
