| 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 |
