James Murphy - New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down lyrics

New York, I love you but you're bringing me down New York, I love you but you're bringing me down Like a rat in a cage Pulling minimum wage New York, I love you but you're bringing me down New York, you're safer and you're wasting my time Our records all show you were filthy but fine But they shuttered your stores When you opened the doors To the cops who were bored once they'd run out of crime New York, you're perfect, oh, please don't change a thing Your mild billionaire mayor's now convinced he's a king So the boring collect I mean all disrespect In the neighborhood bars I'd once dreamt I would drink New York, I love you but you're freaking me out There's a ton of the twist but we're fresh out of shout Like a d**h in the hall That you hear through your wall New York, I love you but you're freaking me out New York, I love you but you're bringing me down New York, I love you but you're bringing me down Like a d**h of the heart Jesus, where do I start? But you're still the one pool where I'd happily drown And oh! Take me off your mailing list For kids that think it still exists Yes, for those who think it still exists Maybe I'm wrong and maybe you're right Maybe I'm wrong and maybe you're right Maybe you're right, maybe I'm wrong And just maybe you're right And oh! Maybe mother told you true And there'll always be somebody there for you And you'll never be alone But maybe she's wrong and maybe I'm right And just maybe she's wrong Maybe she's wrong and maybe I'm right And if so, here's this song!
