Lyrics for The City
Gonna stay out of New York There's something there that gets me crazy No, I won't go back There's something there that bleeding me dry It gets so bad that I stop breathing And then the sun don't wanna shine Well, there's something wrong with New York It's a prison without walls I won't circle back I just don't like that place at all Now, you might call it sophistication But I say, "Time is runnin' out" I say, "I won't go back to New York" There's a darkness all around No, I just can't handle it You know that place is gettin' me down And you might say it's sophistication But I say, "Time is runnin' out"
