Take Him Back To New York City Songtext / Lyric

And so the girls go,

"Hey, what's going on, why don't you sing a song?"

And I'm like,

"Well, here is a song I wrote for our new album. I wrote it when I missed New York, in the Autumn."



His heart is on the East Coast

His heart is very pretty

She's the one he loves the most

Take him back to New York City



I never thought that one could love anyone

For that long, I admit it

But now she's all that he can think of

Take him back to New York City



There are things that didn't work out with her

And it's a fucking pity

They could be so good together

Take him back to New York City






He wants to walk along the river

And check out the graffiti

See if their names have been sprayed over

Take him back to New York City



He wants to walk along the river

Where the sand is very gritty

He wants to stay with her forever

Take him back to New York City



And we all go, "Woo-woo"

("Woo" interlude)



He needs her more than he needs the light of day

He needs her like the light of day times sixty

He's going blind without her anyway

Take him back to New York City



No, it's not being naive

About what's wrong in the American society

But he just wants to live where she lives

Take him back to New York City



And he would sure miss his friends

And his job there, it would sure be shitty

But here his life makes no sense

Take him back to New York City



And it's not where they shot "Vertigo"

And it's not where they shot "ET"

But it's still where he wants to go

Take him back to New York City



It's so stupid they're apart

It is such a stupid stupidity

Take him back to his heart

Take him back to New York City



And again,

Take him back to New York City

What she say?

Take him back to New York City

Now you again,

Take him back to New York City

And we all go "woo woo woo woo"
