Big Noise New York Donald Fagen

Since you left me darling
The city doesn't feel right
On the street the music stopped
And the lights seem half as bright
Without your love
This old town's no fun at all

Without your love
I only hear the loudest voices
The ones with something new to sell
And now it's all
Big talk, big name, big noise, New York

Walk from the river
To West Broadway
Every stranger spoke your name
Every sign read 'yesterday'
Without your love
This old town's no fun at all

Without your love
I only see the drifting shadows
Of the losers and the lost
And now it's all
Big talk, big name, big noise, New York
