Strokes - New York City Cops lyrics
rate meOh! I meant - Ah! <br />
<br />
No, I didn't mean that at all <br />
<br />
Here in the streets of American nights <br />
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life <br />
Studied all the rules, and I want no part <br />
But I let you in just to break this heart <br />
Even though it was only one night <br />
It was fuckin' strange <br />
<br />
Nina's in the bedroom <br />
She says, "Time to go now" <br />
But leavin' it ain't easy <br />
<br />
I've got to let go <br />
Oh, I've got to let go <br />
<br />
And the hours they went to slow <br />
I said every night <br />
She just can't stop sayin': <br />
"New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
They ain't too smart <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
They ain't too smart" <br />
<br />
Just kill me now 'cause I'll let you down <br />
I swear one day we're gonna leave this town <br />
"Stop" <br />
<br />
Yes, I'm leaving 'cause this just won't work <br />
They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks <br />
Soft time in your prime <br />
See me, I like the summertime <br />
But...hey <br />
<br />
Nina's in the bedroom <br />
She says, "Time to go now" <br />
But leaving it ain't easy <br />
<br />
Oh, I've got to let go <br />
I've got to let go <br />
<br />
Oh, trapped in an apartment <br />
She would not let them get her <br />
She wrote it in a letter,: <br />
"I've got to come clean <br />
The authorities, they've seen <br />
Darling, I'm somewhere in between" <br />
<br />
I said every night <br />
She just can't stop sayin': <br />
"New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
They ain't too smart <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
New York City cops <br />
They ain't too smart"
