New York

I was drunk, New York, New York I saw a small white rabbit climbing down the Empire State I must have been hallucinating I am seeing things I'm missing They told me Stella from across the street is dead Painting fake bricks on the front because house sales are slow And Stella was kind to me even though She didn't know the fantasies I made around her Pictures he drew, two broken legs, open-toed shoes Shark fishing in the pavement Shark fishing in the pavement Chorus 1 I'm hallucinating I'm seeing things I'm missing Verse 2 I went back to your street I saw my friends in love Half children, I felt empty and alone there Talking another people's good things Pining for my own shadow Still, I raged through, wine-wasted, shit-faced, solo, so what So long, I had no real plans It wasn't work, no, it wasn't holiday It was just time and space Unpaid intoxication, images I didn't need Man, I really want to see her Chorus 1 Hallucinating I'm seeing things I'm missing Verse 3 Well, forgive me, I can't keep it in I'm speaking over and over in his codes Did I ever show you that book he made me White rabbit, New York, it's a fake Plagiarised his love letters from some time before For someone before Bridge Seems he is very conscious of the world He recycles, he recycles his words Seems he is very conscious of the world He recycles, he recycles his words Chorus 2 I'm seeing things I'm missing I miss him and I hate it I'm seeing things I'm missing I miss him and I hate it Outro I'm drunk, New York, New York I'm drunk, New York, New York New York New York
