N.Y.C. (1999 Remaster)

[Verse]
Hey there, mister, let me tell ya, uh-huh
I got something here that's gonna blow your mind
The way that it is, there's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood, never out of your mind

[Chorus]
No way out of this place, my neighbourhood
House and garden topiary just like Hollywood
On the main line to Harlem, you want to live
Desdemona waiting for ya, something's gotta give

[Post-Chorus]
New York City

[Verse]
Hey there, mister, let me tell ya, uh-huh
I got something here that's gonna blow your mind
The way that it is, there's no turning back
They can burn it out of your blood, never out of your mind

[Chorus]
No way out of this place, my neighbourhood
House and garden topiary just like Hollywood
On the main line to Harlem, you want to live
Desdemona—

[Post-Chorus]
