It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, the daily news...
It comes down to reality-and it’s fine with me ’cause I’ve let it slide
Don’t care if it’s chinatown or riverside
I don’t have any reasons,
I’ve left them all behind
I’m in a New York state of mind
