Lyrics

[Intro] Ow! Haha... I meant, ah! Heh heh... no, I didn't mean that at all Ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 1] Here in the streets, so mechanized Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life Studied all the rules and didn'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 [Pre-Chorus] Nina's in the bedroom She said, "Time to go now" But leavin', it ain't easy I've got to let go Oh, I got to let go And the hours, they ran slow I said, every night, she just can't stop saying [Chorus] New York City cops, New York City cops New York City cops – ain't too smart New York City cops, New York City cops New York City cops – they ain't too smart [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] Well, kill me now 'cause I let you down I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town Stop Yes, I'm leaving! 'Cause it just won't work And they act like Romans, but they dress like Turks Some time in your prime, see me, I like the summertime, but... hey [Pre-Chorus] Nina's in the bedroom She said, "Time to go now" Oh, leaving, it ain't easy Oh, I got to let go Oh, got to let go – oh! Trapped in an apartment She would not let them get her She wrote it in a letter Oh, I got to come clean The authorities they've seen Darling, I'm somewhere in between I said, every night, she just can't stop saying [Chorus] New York City cops, New York City cops New York City cops – ain't too smart New York City cops, New York City cops New York City cops – they ain't too smart
