|
And so the girls go, |
|
"Hey, what's going on, why don't you sing a song?" |
|
And I'm like, |
|
"Well, here is a song I wrote for our new album. I wrote it when I missed New York, in the Autumn." |
|
His heart is on the East Coast |
|
His heart is very pretty |
|
She's the one he loves the most |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
I never thought that one could love anyone |
|
For that long, I admit it |
|
But now she's all that he can think of |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
There are things that didn't work out with her |
|
And it's a fucking pity |
|
They could be so good together |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
He wants to walk along the river |
|
And check out the graffiti |
|
See if their names have been sprayed over |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
He wants to walk along the river |
|
Where the sand is very gritty |
|
He wants to stay with her forever |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
And we all go, "Woo-woo" |
|
("Woo" interlude) |
|
He needs her more than he needs the light of day |
|
He needs her like the light of day times sixty |
|
He's going blind without her anyway |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
No, it's not being naive |
|
About what's wrong in the American society |
|
But he just wants to live where she lives |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
And he would sure miss his friends |
|
And his job there, it would sure be shitty |
|
But here his life makes no sense |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
And it's not where they shot "Vertigo" |
|
And it's not where they shot "ET" |
|
But it's still where he wants to go |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
It's so stupid they're apart |
|
It is such a stupid stupidity |
|
Take him back to his heart |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
And again, |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
What she say? |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
Now you again, |
|
Take him back to New York City |
|
And we all go "woo woo woo woo" |
