NYC Man |
| It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart |
| If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March |
| I’d prefer you were straight forward |
| You don’t have to go through all of that |
| I’m a New York city man, baby, and say «go» and that is that |
| New York city man, you just say «go» and that is that |
| I’m a New York city man, you just say «go» and that is that |
| It’s far too complicated to make up a lie |
| That you’d have to remember and really why |
| I wouldn’t want to be around you |
| If you didn’t want to have me around |
| I’m a M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| M-A-N-N man, you blink your eyes, honey, I love you, I’ll be gone |
| New York city man, you blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed |
| Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain |
| Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play |
| But I’m no Lear with blinded eyes, say «go» and I am gone |
| The stars have shut their eyes up tight |
| The earth has changed it’s course |
| A Kingdom sits on a black knight’s back |
| As he tries to mount a white jeweled horse |
| While a clock full of butterflies on the hour |
| Releases a thousand moths |
| You say «leave» and I’ll be gone |
| Without any remorse |
| No letters faxes phones or tears |
| There’s a difference between bad and worse |
| I’m a New York city man, blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| New York city — man, M-A-N, you blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| New York city, I love you, New York city man |
| New York city, how I love you, blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| Just a little grain of sand |
| New York city, ooohhh, how I love you |
| New York city, baby, blink your eyes and I’ll be gone |
| Oh, how I love you |
