Schenectady ( /skəˈnɛktədi/) is a city in Schenectady County, New York, United States, of which it is the county seat. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 66,135. The name "Schenectady" is derived loosely from a Mohawk word for "on that side of the pinery," or "near the pines," or "place beyond the pine plains."
The city of Schenectady is in eastern New York, near the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. It is in the same metropolitan area as the state capital, Albany; Schenectady is about 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Albany.
When first encountered by Europeans, the area that is now Schenectady was the land of the Mohawk nation of the Iroquois Confederacy. When Dutch settlers arrived in the Hudson Valley in the 17th century, the Mohawk called the settlement at Fort Orange (present day Albany, NY) Schau-naugh-ta-da, meaning "over the pine plains." Eventually, this word entered the lexicon of the Dutch settlers, but the meaning was reversed, and the name referred to the bend in the Mohawk River where the city lies today.
Where do we go from here!
I feel my jumping gear
There must be something in the air
Now should I make my move?
Just like that fairytale
I kiss her lips then she wakes up
Together, far and wide
May be shell be my guide
But may be far aint far enough!
One two three four five,
Ive been hitting on a girl
She made me wonder
She looked so fine, I was blind
Been living a lie tonight
Oh no
I feel ridiculous
Some stupid dumb-ass fool
I said; you're hot, Im in the mood
So true, like one two three
She moved her lips, she said;
I like you too and Im a dude
So glad we ditched the script
Before I kissed his lips
Imagine what if we got there!
One two three four five,
Ive been hitting on a girl
She made me wonder
She looked so fine, I was blind
Been living a lie tonight
One two three four five,
Ive been hitting on a girl
She made me wonder
She looked so fine, so blind
Been hitting on a guy tonight
One two three four five,
Ive been living a lie tonight
She looked so fine, so blind
