Lyrics St. Vincent

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-strawed 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

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 if I trade our 'hood

For some Hollywood

Where you're the only motherfucker in the city who would

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

I have lost a hero

I have lost a friend

But for you, darling

I'd do it all again
