Asked me for the phone Tried to take control I don't see it that way I don't see it that way
We shared some ideas All obsessed with fate Ways we're all the same I don't see it that way I don't see it that way Raised in Carolina I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I tried but you see It's hard to explain I say the right thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watch the tv Forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old The joke is on you This place is a zoo You're right it's true
He said he can't decide I shake my head to say Everything's just great Oh I just can't remember I just can't remember Raised in Carolina she says I'm not like that Trying to remind her When we go back I say the right thing But act the wrong way I like it right here But I cannot stay I watch the tv Forget what I'm told Well I am too young And they are too old I'll make it you see I'm ever so pleased Pretend to be nice So I can be mean I missed the last bus I'll take the next train I try but you see It's hard to explain
(Oh I meant, ah no I didn't mean that at all) Here in the streets so merchanised Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules I don't want no part But I let you in just to break this heart Even though it was only one night It was fucking strange
Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go And the hours they ran slow I said everynight she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart
Kill me now cause I let you down I swear one day I'm going to leave this town Stop. Yes I'm leaving Cause it just won't work They act like Romans but they dress like Turks Sometime in your prime See me I like the summertime (but hey)
Nina's in the bedroom She said time to go now But leaving it ain't easy I got to let go I got to let go oh Trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter I got to come clean The authorities they've seen Darling I'm somewhere in between I said everynight, she just can't stop saying New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart New York City cops New York City cops New York City cops They ain't too smart
