Gonna stay out of New York
 
 There's something there that drives me crazy
 
 Gonna stay out of New York
 
 There's something there that bleeds me dry
 
 It gets so bad that I stop breathin'
 
 And then the sun don't wanna shine
 
 There's something wrong with New York
 
 It's a prison without walls
 
 No I won't go back there
 
 I just don't like that place at all
 
 You might call it sophistication
 
 But I say time is runnin' out
 
 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
 
 You can say it's sophistication
 
 But I say time is runnin' out
