Ny Nights Lyrics - Glitter In The Gutter - Jesse Malin

When my high top sneakers hit the ground 

On the run from heavens' hand me downs 

I want to see your face 

When I fall from grace, baby 

Hold me close in the New York night 

A holy ghost or a satellite 

And promise me it will be okay 

Your mother dreamed of a better day 

Storefront gypsies laying tarot cards 

On my TV they're still playing God 

I'm sick of politricks 

I need another kiss, baby 

Hold me close in the New York night 

A holy ghost or a satellite 

And promise me it will be okay 

Your mother dreamed of a better day 

And if you ever change your mind 

I'd feel a lot better 

Looking for the perfect crime 

Or giving up, never baby, no 

From the desert to this love stained town 

I still find comfort in the underground 

It's written in my soul 

It's unconditional, baby 

Hold me close in the New York night 

A holy ghost or a satellite 

And promise me it will be okay 

Your mother dreamed of a better day and 

Hold me close in the New York night 

Be my ghost, be my satellite 

And promise me it will be okay 

When we touch down at JFK 

Lal, lal, la, la, la 

Lal, lal, la, la, la 

Lal, lal, la, la, la 

Lal, lal, la, la, la 

Lal, lal, la, la, la
