And so the girls go, "Hey, what's going on, why don't you sing a song?" And I'm like, "Well, here is a song I wrote for our new album. I wrote it when I missed New York, in the Autumn."
His heart is on the East Coast His heart is very pretty She's the one he loves the most Take him back to New York City
I never thought that one could love anyone for that long, I admit it But now she's all that he can think of Take him back to New York City
There are things that didn't work out with her And it's a fucking pity They could be so good together Take him back to New York City
He wants to walk along the river And check out the graffiti See if their names have been sprayed over Take him back to New York City
He wants to walk along the river Where the sand is very gritty He wants to stay with her forever Take him back to New York City
And we all go, "Woo-woo" ("Woo" interlude)
He needs her more than he needs the light of day He needs her like the light of day times sixty He's going blind without her anyway Take him back to New York City
No, it's not being naive About what's wrong in the American society But he just wants to live where she lives Take him back to New York City
And he would sure miss his friends And his job there, it would sure be shitty But here his life makes no sense Take him back to New York City
And it's not where they shot "Vertigo" And it's not where they shot "ET" But it's still where he wants to go Take him back to New York City
It's so stupid they're apart It is such a stupid stupidity Take him back to his heart Take him back to New York City
And again, Take him back to New York City What she say? Take him back to New York City Now you again, Take him back to New York City And we all go "woo woo woo woo"
