you deserve a world
of gentle curves and books
where sunlight always wins
against the cheats and crooks
but i`m no carpenter
(or) accomplished architect
it won`t be me who mends
the parts the last boy wrecked
(so) it`s time your bags got packed
new york new york
i hope your power dies
fuck you new york
for being the one cure
for her
i`d redivide the sea
to flood the town you hate
we`d laugh aboard the deck
of the ss figure eight
i`d kill the president
i`d firebomb the moon
but all that i can do
to save your sanity
is help you leave town soon
new york new york
you`re full of guns and whores
fuck you new york
for being the one cure
for her
