Working Boy in New York City Belle and Sebastian

[Verse 1]
Pray, hey, you are a working boy in New York City
You took the train to liberate your body and liberate your heart
You are trying to find a home, soon
Always the saddest when a friend can't make it
Love everyone along the way, you never had a chance to tell them
What you would like to do if the love permits you

[Chorus 1]
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an evеn shot at making heaven
Wide is thе gate

[Verse 2]
Pray, gay, you are the holy boy outside the scriptures
Far and away from all the brightest sunbeams
You choose to stay and fight from the inside outside
Don't fight, make like the cutest owl and use your feathers
Make like the elephant and use your memory to pick a path
Make like a sleeping bird, dreaming of the morning

[Chorus 1]
Everybody gets an even shot at making heaven
Wide is the gate
Everybody gets an even shot at seeing heaven
Wide is the gate
