Garden Ignites
Orange and blue when the lights go black Twenty thousand deep and
the noise comes back Broadway glowing,
whole block packed You came to New York?
Better come correct Train doors open,
everybody pours out One more win and the whole town roars out
Five on the floor with the city behind 'em Try to stay
calm—good fucking luck inside here
WHOSE HOUSE? — NEW YORK!
WHOSE NIGHT? — NEW YORK!
Fourth quarter, everybody stand You can hear this motherfucker across Manhattan
NEW YORK! KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) Orange and blue and the whole
place hits NEW YORK!
KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) Garden going crazy when the scoreboard flips FROM
THE BRONX! BROOKLYN! QUEENS!
STATEN! MANHATTAN screaming till the ceiling caves in You wanted the Garden?
WELCOME TO THIS— NEW!
YORK! KNICKS!
Concrete shaking underneath our feet Fast break running like a train downtown
One shot drops and the place erupts Next one hits—now nobody sits
down Defense locks, crowd gets louder Every damn possession adds more power
Clock gets low, pressure gets thick That's when New York starts loving
this shit
ONE STOP! — GET IT!
ONE SHOT! — HIT IT!
One
minute left and the whole city's in it Bass gets bigger,
strings start climbing You hear that roar?
That's perfect timing
NEW YORK! KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) Orange and blue and the whole
place hits NEW YORK!
KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) Garden going crazy when the scoreboard flips
UPTOWN! DOWNTOWN! ALL FIVE BOROUGHS!
Everybody yelling till the whole world knows You wanted New York?
WELCOME TO THIS— NEW!
YORK! KNICKS!

VIOLINS! SAX! HORNS!
NEW YORK, YOU STILL WITH ME?

SECONDS! (DEFENSE!) FIVE

KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) Whole damn Garden jumping like this
NEW YORK! KNICKS! (NEW YORK KNICKS!) From forty-second street to the championship

Lights get brighter when the pressure comes due Twenty thousand voices,
one heartbeat hits— NEW!
