Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause new york sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire.

Somebody told me if I'm not careful

Well, this one's gonna roll me

I got my hands full and this one's gonna own me and control me

I'm so mystified

She caught the last train last night, left another note

Saying "see you next time; miss me if you don't"

You look good in your bed; til we meet again

You went through my head and nobody told me so.

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause new york sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire.

New scene, next block

She'll be jaywalking right across while the cops talk

Make you feel like a boss when your eyes lock

And you can't stop staring endlessly

She got the whole thing figured out; hits me where it hurts

And I know I might be swinging at a curve

I don't mind it, though, when the lights are low

She can hit the notes wearing my t-shirt.

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause new york sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire.

But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts

Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter

Again and again, I was lucky just to find her

But I don't know if I'm chasing ghosts

Put my hand in the flame of a flickering lighter

Again and again, I was lucky.

Everybody knows she's a perfect ten

And I'm hanging on tight til the whole thing ends

Cause new york sky don't get much brighter

She sets, she sets the city on fire

She sets the city on fire

Burns like a million lighters

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire.

I'm going up, I couldn't get much higher

She sets, she sets the city on fire.
