New York City Cops (Hard to Explain B-Side)

Oh!

Ha-ha, I meant ah!

No, I didn't mean that at all

Ooh-ooh

Here in the streets so mechanized

Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life

Studied all the rules and 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, oh, I got to let go

And the hours they ran slow

I said, every night, she just can't stop saying

New York City cops, New York City cops

New York City cops, but they ain't too smart

New York City cops, New York City cops

New York City cops, but they ain't too smart

Well, kill me now 'cause I let you down

I swear one day I'm gonna leave this town

Stop!

Yes, I'm leaving, 'cause it just won't work

And they act like Romans, but they dress like Turks

Some time in your prime

See me, I like the summertime but, hey

Nina's in the bedroom

She said, "Time to go now"

But leaving, it ain't easy

Oh, I got to let go, oh, 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 but the authorities they've seen

Darling, I'm somewhere in between

I said, every night, she just can't stop saying

New York City cops, New York City cops

New York City cops, but they ain't too smart

New York City cops, New York City cops

New York City cops, but they ain't too smart
