St. Vincent - New York

New York isn’t New York
without you, love
so far in a few blocks
to be so low

and if I call you from First Avenue
Where you’re the only motherfucker in the city
Who can handle me

new love
wasn’t true love
back to you, love
so much for a home run
with some blue bloods

if I last strewed you on 8th Avenue
where you’re the only motherfucker in the city
who can stand me

I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
but for you, darling
I’d do it all again

New York isn’t New York
without you, love
too few of our old crew
Left on Astor

So is I trade our hood
for some Hollywood
where you’re the only motherfucker in the city
who would
only motherfucker in the city who’d forgive me

I have lost a hero
I have lost a friend
but for you, darling
I’d do it all again
