Joseph Arthur - NYC Man lyrics

It can only lead to trouble if you break my heart If you accidentally crush it on the ides of March I'd prefer you were straight forward You don't have to go through all of that I'm a New York city man, baby, and say "go" and that is that New York city man You just say "go" and that is that I'm a New York city man You just say "go" and that is that It's far too complicated to make up a lie That you'd have to remember and really why I wouldn't want to be around you If you didn't want to have me around I'm a M-A-N-N man You blink your eyes and I'll be gone M-A-N-N man You blink your eyes, honey, I'll be gone New York city man You blink your eyes, honey, I'll be gone Brutus made a pretty speech but Caesar was betrayed Lady Macbeth went crazy but Macbeth ended slain Ophelia and Desdamona dead leaving Hamlet in a play But I'm no Lear with blinded eyes, say "go" and I am gone The stars have shut their eyes up tight The earth has changed it's course A Kingdom sits on a black knight's back As he tries to mount a white j**eled horse While a clock full of bu*terflies on the hour Releases a thousand moths You say "leave" and I'll be gone without any remorse No letters faxes phones or tears There's a difference between bad and worse I'm a New York city man Blink your eyes and I'll be gone New York city man, M-A-N You blink your eyes, honey, I'll be gone New York city, I love you Honey blink your eyes, I am gone New York city man, M-A-N Blink your eyes and I'm gone New York city, I love you Blink your eyes, I am gone Grain of sand, I love you Blink your eyes, I am gone New York city man, M-A-N Blink your eyes, I am gone
