New York Is Closed Tonight lyrics

My eyes are hurting badly

I'm breathing through my nose

My white shirt is turning gray

I should wear plastic clothes

It's getting dark so early

Long before it's night

And the neon freeway sign

Said New York's closed

New York's closed tonight

Breathing's getting harder

As I walk through the park

The trees are brown and dingy

And no one walks the dog

My dog died thursday

I couldn't sleep all night

And the man on the radio

Said New York's closed

New York's closed tonight

Call back your armies

The demonstration's through

Everything is lost

There's nothing we can do

We told you long ago your solution wasn't right

And today the Pittsburgh Herald read New York's closed

New York's closed tonight

It's closed

New York is closed tonight

It's closed
