The Strokes 

 

  

 

   New York City Cops

 

 

  Here in the streets so mechanised

  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, i let you down

  I swear 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

  

  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

  I got to come clean

  The authorities they've seen

  Darling i'm somewhere in between

  I said everynight every night, i 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
