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 slow,
I said every night,
She just can't stop saying,
'New york cuty 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, i'm gonna leave this town,
'Stop'.
Yes i'm leaving, 'cause this just won't work,
They act like romasn but they dress ilke Turks,
Soft time in your prime,
See me i like the summertime.
But,,.hey.
Nina's in the bedroom,
She says 'It's 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 saying,
'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.'
