Only Living Boy in New York Lyrics

Tom, get your plane right on time
I know your part'll go fine
Fly down to Mexico
And here I am
The only living boy in New York

I get the news I need on the weather report
Gather all the news I need from the weather report
Hey, I've got nothing to do today but smile
And here I am
The only living boy in New York

Half of the time we're gone, we don't know where
And we don't know when

Tom, get your plane right on time
I know you're read to fly now
Shine, let your honesty shine, shine, shine
Let it shine on me

Only living boy in New York
The only living boy in New York

Here I am
Only living boy in New York

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
