like rats from a sinking ship

don't you even try to jettison now

this has gone

this has gone as far as i can allow

this ships been sinking with you at the helm

straight to hell

straight to hell

take a bow straight to hell

the waters red now bring in the sharks

circling

circling look who's calling the shots

find a new hit or a brand new drug to get off

to get off

to get off

new york city

you weren't good to me

you held me close and set me free

big city you made me disappear

i'm addicted to the chances i take

bigger stakes

bigger stakes makes the pendulum shake

there are no issues with the hands that i've held

i'm all in

i'm all in till the river is dealt

but when the floods come i'll fight up the stream

i believe

i believe i got this gamblers disease

if i had to bet you'd find me back in the van to get off

to get off

to get off

new york city

you weren't good to me

your faith in me was insincere

big city

you made me disappear

take me off this rock you call an island

i'll find a new home

i won't be made an orphan

take me off this rock you call an island

it's not getting easier

it's not getting easier

new york city

you weren't

good to me

your love for me was insincere

big city

you made me disappear

yeah

you made me disappear
