The Strokes - New York City Cops lyrics

(Oh I meant, ah no I didn't mean that at all)

Here in the streets so merchanised

Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life

Studied all the rules I don'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 leaving 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 saying

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

Kill me now cause I let you down

I swear one day I'm going to leave this town

Stop. Yes I'm leaving

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 (but hey)

Nina's in the bedroom

She said time to go now

But leaving 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, she just can't stop saying

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
