Strokes: New York City Cops lyrics
Here in the streets so mechanised
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didnt want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fucking strange
Ninas in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin it aint easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
And the hours they ran slow
I said everynight she just cant stop sayin
New york city cops
New york city cops
New york city cops
They aint too smart
New york city cops
New york city cops
New york city cops
They aint too smart
Well, kill me now, I let you down
I swear one day were gonna leave this town
Stop
Yes Im leavin
cause it just wont work
They act like romans
But they dress like turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
Ninas in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin it aint 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 theyve seen
Darling Im somewhere in between
I said everynight every night, I just cant stop sayin
New york city cops
New york city cops
New york city cops
They aint too smart
New york city cops
New york city cops
New york city cops
They aint too smart
