New York City Cops Song Lyrics
New York City Cops by Strokes Oh! I meant - Ah!
No, I didn't mean that at all.
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 f**king strange.
Nina's in the bedroom,
She said, “Time to go now.”
But leaving 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 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.
Oh, kill me now, 'cause I let you down.
I swear one day I’m gonna leave this town.
Stop.
Yes, I'm leaving, 'cause it just won't work.
They act like Romans but they dress like Turks.
Some time in your prime,
See me, I like the summertime
But, hey.
Nina's in the bedroom,
She said, “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.
Oh, I've got to come clean,
The authorities they've seen
Oh 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.
