Here in the streets so mechanised
  Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
  Studied all the rules 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
    Nina's in the bedroom
  She said time to go now
  But leavin' it ain't easy
  I got to let go
  I got to let go
  And the hours they ran slow
  I said everynight she just can't stop sayin'
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  They ain't too smart
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  They ain't too smart
    Well, kill me now, I let you down
  I swear one day we're gonna leave this town
  Stop
  Yes I'm leavin'
  'Cause it just won't work
  They act like Romans
  But they dress like Turks
  Sometime, in your prime
  See me, I like the summertime
    Nina's in the bedroom
  She said time to go now
  But leavin' it ain't 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 they've seen
  darling I'm somewhere in between
  I said everynight every night, I just can't stop sayin'
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  They ain't too smart
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  New York City cops
  They ain't too smart
