[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
4:30 in the morning
I'm tattered, tired, and torn
Tryin' to keep up with the pace
This ain't my home and it ain't my place
The candle keeps on burnin'
At this point there's no returnin'
The policy is clear
Anything goes when you are here

[Chorus]
Almost anything goes
From the nightclubs to the shows
Almost anything goes
From the haircuts to the clothes
Almost anything goes
From your head down to your toes
Almost anything goes
Does this place ever close?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
I wanna wake up in a city
That likes to go to bed
Where they know what time of day it is
But I'm stuck here instead
Now every rule is disregarded
So why don't we all get started
Movin' at that hyperspeed
This city seems to need
[Chorus]
Almost anything goes
From the nightclubs to the shows
Almost anything goes
From the haircuts to the clothes
Almost anything goes
From your head down to your toes
Almost anything goes
Does this place ever close?

[Post-Chorus]
Nice place to visit, but I don't wanna (Die here)
I stay on my toes whenever I go (By here)
Nice place to visit, but I don't wanna (Die here)
I stay on my toes whenever I go (By here)

"Wow. New York. Union Station
Skyscrapers. And everything."

[Bridge]
I was killin' all my money
Spendin' brain cells just as fast
So I'll grab a taxi cab
And head somewhere where I can crash
Port authority driver
Home's my destination
Don't no one wake me up 'til we're near
Park Street Station
[Chorus]
Almost anything goes
From the nightclubs to the shows
Almost anything goes
From the haircuts to the clothes
Almost anything goes
From your head down to your toes
Almost anything goes
Does this place ever close?

[Outro]
Nice place to visit, but I don't wanna die
I stay on my toes whenever I go by here
There's this electric lure, that's so attractive
But I'd rather hang my hat on a hook that's not so active
I was walkin' on the wild side, I was in that state of mind
The neon lights were bright, but I'll be leavin' them behind
Big city of dreams can be a nightmare
Knife, fork, bottle, cork, I'm outta here
I'm outta here!
Nice place to visit but I don't wanna (Die here)
I stay on my toes whenever I go (By here)
Nice place to visit but I don't wanna (Die here)
I stay on my toes whenever I go (By here)
Almost
Anything goes
Anything
