Album:
Hard to Explain EP
here in the streets so mechanized
Rise to the bottom of the meaning of life
Studied all the rules didn´t want no part
But I let you in just to break this heart
Even though it was only one night
It was fucking strange


Nina´s in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin´ it ain´t easy
I got to let go
I got to let go
And the hours they ran slow


I said everynight she just can´t stop sayin´
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


Well, kill me now, if I let you down
I swear it one day we´re gonna leave this town
Stop----
Yes I´m leavin´
´Cause it just won´t work


They act like Romans
But they dress like Turks
Sometime, in your prime
See me, I like the summertime
but, hey!


Nina´s in the bedroom
She said time to go now
But leavin´ it ain´t easy
I got to let go
I 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
darling I´m somewhere in between
I said everynight they just can´t stop sayin´


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
