Stephin Merritt - '12: You Can Never Go Back to New York lyrics

You can never go back to New York 'Cause it changes as quick as the weather Everyone sing it together You can never go back to New York You can go back to Banff or Big Bear And whatever you loved will still be there But if you don't plan to ski there You can never go back to New York You can go out of town for a week And they move it all round to confuse you Adding new things to amuse you Just in case you come back to New York I was only away for six years And you'd think I'd arrived from Wisconsin

Lots of fresh meat for romancin' Woof, it's fun to go back to New York You can never go back to New York Anyway, dear, why would you want to? There's a new New York to move on to Who would ever go back to New York? You can never go back to New York 'Cause it changes as quick as the weather Everyone sing it together You can never go back to New York You can go back to Banff or Big Bear And whatever you loved will still be there But if you don't plan to ski there You can never go back to New York
