Radio Paradise (mobile)

On a rooftop in Brooklyn
At one in the morning
Watching the lights flash
In Manhattan
I see fire bridges
The Empire State Building
And you said something
That I've never forgotten
We lean against railings
Describing the colors
And the smells of our homelands
Acting like lovers
How did we get here
To this point of living
I held my breath
You said something
And I'm doing nothing wrong
Riding in you car
The radio playing
We sing up to the eighth floor
On a rooftop Manhattan
One in the morning
You said something
That I've never forgotten
You said something
You said something
You said something
That was really important

scrubbrush Mar 13, 2013 - 15:03	I really, really, really can't get enough of this song. I agree with commenter below regarding this song captuyring the NYC vibe for a certain period of time. I have a "rooftop in Brooklyn, one in the morning" memory that will forever be tied to this, though it took place 20 years before the song was written. Love this song [ Reply ]

I wish I could explain it better, but the city has become far too expensive and the economy far too unforgiving to allow for the excesses of the late 90s. [ Reply ]
