There's a million Jews in New York

And I'm one of them!

A
There's a million stars in the sky

      F#m                               E
And a million cars on the west side highway

Back at home, I didn't feel this free

Up and down the boulevard, I could hear them scream

Let them suffocate and die

In their ordinary lives
[Verse 2]

After all these years of feeling alone

Back at home, walking down the street

       A                              
People pulled their kids aside

     F#m
Like I was some kind of disease
[Chorus 2]
       D         A
But as much as I tried to hide

    D                A
And plug my ears, it hurt inside

It curled up and wounded my pride

As I ride, I can feel the street

Like a river (like a river), it flows rapidly
[Chorus 3]
            D           A
Through the city, it propels

             D              A
Me towards a tragic, bloody crash, oh well

   F#m             Bm
An inch from death seems to be

    D             A
The only place to find some peace

    D             A
The only place to ride a bike and

D              A               E
Feel alive and find a sense of pride (pride)

      Bm A   A
And dignity
