Don't you even try to jettison now
This has gone, this has gone as far as i can allow
This ships been sinking with you at the helm

Straight to hell, straight to hell, take a bow straight to hell
The waters red now bring in the sharks
Circling, circling look who's calling the shots

Find a new hit or a brand new drug to get off, to get off, to get off

New York City

You weren't good to me
You held me close and set me free
Big city you made me disappear


I'm addicted to the chances I take
Bigger stakes, bigger stakes makes the pendulum shake

There are no issues with the hands that I've held
I'm all in, I'm all in till the river is dealt
But when the floods come I'll fight up the stream

I believe, I believe I got this gambler's disease
If I had to bet you'd find me back in the van, jerkin' off, jerkin' off, jerkin' off


New York City
You weren't good to me
You held me close and set me free

Big city you made me disappear
New York City
You weren't good to me

Your faith in me was insincere
Big city you made me disappear
Yeah, you made me disappear


Take me off this rock you call an island
I'll find a new home, i won't be made an orphan

Take me off this rock you call an island
It's not getting easier
It's not getting easier


New York City
You weren't good to me

You held me close and set me free
Big city you made me disappear
New York City

You weren't good to me
Your love for me was insincere
Big city You made me disappear

Yeah, you made me disappear
