NY Man

Oh NY man

Better than the other man

Oh, NY man

You're the only thing I understand

Since I left the neighborhood

My spirits gone and I'm not feeling so good

And everything you said would happen all came true

They do things really different here

They don't do like you do

Oh NY man

I hear the subway see us walking hand in hand

On afternoons

Smoking on fire escapes through summer moons

Since I left the neighborhood

My song is sad and I don't feel like I feel

I called you from the airport just to say hello

I wanted you to stop me

Not to let me go

I liked the me that I was when I was with you

Oh NY man

I left rich but I'm back cap-in-hand

Oh, what a fall

It's true I've made a mess of it all

Since I left the neighborhood

My spirits gone and I don't feel like I feel

Since I left the neighborhood

My spirits gone and I'm not feeling so good
