A TALE OF TWO CITIES
YOU'VE GOT NEW YORK ON YOUR FACE
BUT L.A. IN YOUR EYES
YOU WANT TO LEAVE THIS SNOWY SCENE
FOR SMOGGY WESTERN SKIES
FROM THE BIG APPLE IN YOUR HAND
TO THE STARS AT YOUR FEET
AND YOUR NAME UP IN LIGHTS
TO DOWN ON THE STREET
IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES
OFTEN TOLD BUT TRUE
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
WITH NOTHING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO
WITH NEW YORK IN YOUR HAIR
BUT L.A. ON YOUR MIND
WILL YOU FORGET THESE AUTUMN LEAVES
ON HOLLYWOOD AND VINE
YOU'VE MANHATTAN ON YOUR LIPS
BUT FEEL THE TASTE OF MEXICO
WITH CUERVO IN YOUR GLASS
WHEN THE SANTA ANAS BLOW
IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES
OFTEN TOLD BUT TRUE
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
WITH NOTHING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO
WAVE GOODBYE TO WALL STREET
A FOND FAREWELL TO FIFTH AVENUE
SAY HELLO TO THE RHYTHM OF THE BLUES
IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES
OFTEN TOLD BUT TRUE
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
WITH NOTHING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO
IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES
OFTEN TOLD BUT TRUE
A TALE OF TWO CITIES
WITH NOTHING TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO
IT'S A TALE OF TWO CITIES
AND IT WON'T BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU HERE
