Lyrics
It's been a year since I was here
Reflecting on a year since the speaker was last in the city.
On the street I'm just passing my time away
Killing time on the street, possibly feeling aimless or idle.
To the left and to the right a town of stone grows to the sky
Describing the city's skyline expanding in all directions.
And it's out of sight in a fading light here I am again in the city
Being back in the city as night falls, with landmarks disappearing.
With a fist full of dollars and baby you gotta believe:
Expressing confidence with money and a call to believe in the speaker.
I'm back
Announcing the return to the city.
back in the New York groove
Repeating the excitement of being back in the New York groove.
I'm back
-back in the New York groove
-I'm back in the New York groove. in the New York groove.
-In the back of a Cadillac with a lady by my side
In a car with a woman, heading to a specific location (third and forty tree).
Tell you where I'll be stop at third and forty tree
Indicating a planned stop, adding detail to the journey.
Dance into the night
Anticipating dancing into the night, suggesting celebration.
it's gonna be ectasy
Expecting a joyful experience, possibly implying a romantic encounter.
This day was made for me.
Feeling that the day and the city are aligned for the speaker.
I feel so good tonight who cares about tomorrow.
Expressing a positive mood, disregarding concerns about the future.
I'm back
Reiterating the return to the New York groove with enthusiasm.
back in the New York groove . . .
