"New York is the thing that formed me
New York is the thing that deformed me
New York is the thing that perverted me
New York is the thing that converted me
New York’s the thing I love, too.
That’s my little prayer for New York"

Kingdoms In Space

Sunny 
Have a heart 
Took us so long to build 
Don't tear it apart!

I know,
People change 
But I never thought feeling so good
Could feel so strange ...

(chorus)
The other ones could never hold
a flame to you 
There's nothing you could ask of me
I wouldn't do..!

Sunny, 
What's your game? 
I wanna tell you I love you
but I know you don't feel the same...

Maybe 
After a while 
I could be the kind of person
 who makes you smile!

(chorus)

Sunny
It's a crime 
I wanna give you the world but you
Won't even give me the time..

Someday,
You will see
I was made for you
And honey you were 
Made for me..! 

Sunny

"One of these times we might find it's all gone...
we'll wonder how wonder why we went on...
You measure yourself by what you can buy, 
but you can't it with you when you die.
Lord, I need some kind of exit 
from everything I know -
There's no doubt it, baby it's all got to GO..!!"

One Of These Times

Music & Lyrics by Shepard McCallum, copyright 2016
 
Shepard: Guitar, Vocals, Organ

"what can I get 
  for dollar in a town like this?
  I can't even buy a kiss
  off a stranger...
  I wish I was 
  on a railway to the stars
  instead of sittin in subway car
  full of strangers...
  
  And with so many people to choose,
  well you'd think that you couldn't lose,
  but it's not that easy loving in a city like this - 

  So take a tip 
  from a blonde immigrant like me:
  you won't get nothing for free
  in the city...
  They'll eat you alive 
  and suck the fat right off your bones 
  while they're living in Gracious Homes
  in the city...

  And with so many people to choose,
  well you'd think that you couldn't lose,
  but it's not that easy loving in a city like this..."
