Made for Grander Things

Grand Central Terminal

"New York is my destination.
New York is where I will be from.
New York is made for grander things.
Just. Like. Me."
Suzanne Vega, New York is My Destination

Desperate Passion

"New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
And to her you're just another guy
And she's every girl you've seen in every movie
Every dame you've ever known on late night TV
In her steam and steel is the passion you feel
Desperately."
Suzanne Vega, New York is a Woman

New York is a Woman

"New York is a woman, she'll make you cry
And to her you're just another guy
Look down and see her ruined places
Smoke and ash still rising to the sky
She's happy that you're here, but when you disappear
She won't know that you're gone to say goodbye."
Suzanne Vega, New York is a Woman

Brutality

"The reason I like New York better than other places in the country is that in New York all the brutality is up front. Which to me is very satisfying."
Suzanne Vega, SPIN
