Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah And here in this walled kingdom they'll end Well the walls of the world well they just caved in Now we contemplate the supplemental threshold they trace And they send to New York City in space Standing in the canyons of NYC Thinking about Kojak, CBGB's and the Bowery Thinking about the space that lies Between all this and us The heat this time of year is ridiculous Do do do do yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Do do do do yeah Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
