LOU REED

LOU REED - NYC man lyrics

rate me

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 Desdemona 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
