NYC Lyrics

White house on the beach
My steps down to the sand
The plane takes off and we
We are just when it lands

Waiting in a room
Where the windows won't open
Got coffee with no mud
And my heart still ain't broken
Still ain't broken
Still ain't broken

And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on

I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York

Boat goes
From one island to the next
An old man drinkin' beer
Women on the bench

And the music stops
And the beat goes on
And the music stops
But I'm dancing on

I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York

Glory when my plane takes off
Don't know me when I'm home
Say your prayers with your fingers crossed
Forget to call fore I go

If I had to phone tonight
To say I made you sad
And though I've fallen in your call and palm

I won't be home until I've walked
Every street in New York
And I'll walk on without your love
Without your love
Dancing on til I'm alone
There's no need to return
Without your love, until I have walked
Every street in New York

NYC

This is the one brand new song on Dido's 2013 retrospective Greatest Hits. The English songstress penned the tune with Greg Kurstin the same time they wrote the Girl Who Got Away tracks, "End Of Night," "Happy New Year," and "Let's Runaway," but didn't finish it. Dido told Billboard magazine: "I actually thought this was the perfect album for it to go on, because it references lyrically when I first started and first came to America. I came over to New York with a point to prove to my brother (producer Rollo Armstrong) who basically said, 'You can't do this.' I was walking the streets of New York thinking, 'I'm not going home until something happens, and I won't go home until I've walked every street in this town.' I thought this was the perfect album to put it on, as opposed to the next record."
