The Strokes - New York City Cops

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