  • Hello baby, give me your hand
    Check out the high spots, the lay of the land
    We don't need a rocket or a big limousine
    Ooh, come on over, baby, and I'll make you obscene

    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City

    All over the city and out of the dives
    Don't mess with this place, it'll eat you alive, yeah
    Got a lip smacking honey to suck out the jam
    On top of the world ma, ready to slam

    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City

    Moving all over like a jumping bean
    Take a look at that thing in the tight-ass jeans
    Coming your way now, you may be in luck
    Don't you fret boy, she's ready to buck

    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City

    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City
    I feel safe in New York City

    Raging
    New York, New York, New York
    I feel safe in a cage in New York City

  • Ro Ck from UkSurprised no one commented on this,

    The band went into an investigation for the 9–11 events, their album cover and specially THIS SONG.
    The song was recorded September 13, a year before.
    Too much of God Time is Perfect here.
    The song was, later, included in the 2001 Clear Channel memorandum, a list of "lyrically questionable" songs.
