New York

I was drunk
New York, New York
I saw a small white rabbit climbing down the Empire State
I must have been hallucinating
I am seeing things I'm missing
They told me Estella from across the street is dead
Painting fake bricks on the front because house sales are slow
Estella was kind to me even though
She didn't know the fantasies I made around her
Pictures he drew
Two broken legs, open toes, shoes
Shark fishing in the pavement
Shark fishing in the pavement
I'm hallucinating
I'm seeing things I'm missing
I went back to your street
I saw my friends in love
Have children when I felt empty and alone there
Talking another people's good things
Pining for my own shadow
Still I raged through, wine-wasted, shit-faced, solo, so what
So long I had no real plans
It wasn't work, no, it wasn't holiday
It was just time and space
Unpaid intoxication images I didn't need
Man I really want to see her
Hallucinating
I'm seeing things I'm missing
Well forgive me I can't keep it in
I'm speaking over and over in his coat
Did I ever show you that book he made me
White rabbit, New York
It's a fake
Plagiarised his love letters from some time before
From someone before
Seems he is very conscious of the world
He recycles he recycles his words
Seems he is very conscious of the world
He recycles he recycles his words
I'm seeing things I'm missing
I'm missing and I hate it
I'm seeing things I'm missing
I'm missing and I hate it
I'm drunk, New York New York
I'm drunk, New York, New York
(New York)
