Lyrics

NYC Tough Guy

She's a tough guy, NYC

Only child, mad and lonely

Are we only?

Are you up?

Are you down?

I'm still losing

Retribution, punishment

One more line drawn in the sand

Wrong again

Are you up?

Are you down?

I'm still losing

Are you up?

Are you down?

I'm still losing

Take a bow
