[ Featuring The Return ]
I love New Rourke City
Just as much as I loved you
Just the way it looks
In all the books
By Andy Warhol's crew
I love New Rourke City
On a lovely Autumn day
When the Angel Hearts
Come from afar
The Pope of Greenwich prays
But it's never quite so lovely
When I have to force a smile
And shake the hand so ugly
Of the one you have beguiled
I loved New Rourke City
When I was a younger man
When I was a dope
To run in hope
You'd truly understand
And I loved New Rourke City
When I dreamed we'd meet again
And I never took
The time to look
At the skyscrapers on end
And I never want to feel
I suppose, the way you meant
Cause things were only real
When I had to pay your rent
You love to say I'm crazy
But it's your heart that's hazy
You're not so innocent yourself
You'll rush to call me liar, but
You're the one with pants on fire
You're not so innocent yourself
You might get angry, Daisy May
You'll never listen, anyway
Just another record on a shelf
For now, I'll just say, what a rip
You'll never get a better script
You're not so innocent yourself
I love New Rourke City
In its splendor and its sin
Just the way I run
When spell is spun
And it takes me for a spin
I love New Rourke City
When Wild Orchids bloom
When the Rumble Fish
And Barflys wish
They'd get out from the gloom
And the city streets are calling
Like the dragons giving chase
Like the Angels who are falling
Like a wrestler down from grace
You say you're on the level
You say that I'm the devil, but
You're not so innocent yourself
You want to be immortal
But I see skip Aortal, cause
You're not so innocent yourself
You might get flustered, for a while
When I act cold and mercantile
Just another name upon my shelf
Just know I've nothing left to give
Just let me go and let me live
I'll never live it down myself
I never thought you'd break it off
Like a piece by Rachmaninoff
You're not so innocent yourself
For now, I'll just say, what a show
Here comes the crowd and here we go
You're not so innocent yourself
You love to say I'm crazy
But it's your heart that's hazy
You're not so innocent yourself
