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

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 don´t want to have me around
I´m a M-A-N-N man
Slink your eyes and I´ll gone

I´m a M-A-N-N man, slink your eyes, honey, I love you, and I´ll gone
New York city man, slink your eyes and I´ll 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, blink your eyes and I´ll be gone

New York city, I love you, New York city man
New York city, I love you, blink your eyes and I´ll be gone
Just a little grain of sand
New York city, ooohhh, I love you
New York city, baby, blink your eyes and I´ll be gone
I love you
