Ah it's the paint on the walls
it's the cool waterfalls, that I see every day
Ah it's the reeds in the lake
that I see every day, that I see every night

Ah it's the paint on the walls
it's the cool waterfalls, that I see every day
You've got something to say
like you do every day, like you do every night

Come alive like cuban nightglife
like the street lamp from the right height
I was woken by the bright light

Ah it's the paint on the walls
it's the cool waterfalls, that I see every day
Ah it's the reeds in the lake
that I see every day, that I see every night

Ah it's the paint on the walls
it's the cool waterfalls, that I see every day
You've got something to say
like you do every day, like you do every night

But I was dreaming of safaris
and I was surfing over palm trees and waves
have you ever dreamt of New York?
staring up at buildings in the sun, when I feel brave

and I could sing
and you could sing
and we could sing
in the New York spring
