New Moon

New York's brighter than any other state, country, or capital.
Please take my word
                   on
it, but please be warned - I don't know what "it" is.
I see the lights and I think I'm
                   on
the sun - just chilling and recharging my juice.
I'm no energizer bunny, but any time I see New York I feel like everything has to flow.
Bright lights even when the cameras flash,
                   on
second thought, they're even bright when you turn the light off.
I don't represent, but I'm
                   on
the balcony taking in the fresh air and the lights remind me of last year.
I'm different in a sense, like I'm
                   on
a UFO - getting ready to take over my inconsistent life like a New Moon.
