The 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 fuckin´strange

Nina´s in the bedroom
She says, "Time to go now"
But leavin´ it ain´t easy

I´ve got to let go
Oh, I´ve got to let go

And the hours they went to slow
I said every night
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"

Just kill me now ´causeI´ll let you down

I swear one day we´re gonna leave this town
"Stop"

Yes, I´m leaving ´cause this just won´t work
They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks
Soft time in your prime
See me, like the summertime
But...hey

Nina´s in the badroom
She says, "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,:
"I´ve got to come clean
The authorities, they´ve seen
Darling, I´m somewhere in between"

I said every night
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
