So strange and beautiful The fruit that came before the fall So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) Once again, rolled over, collapsed at the end Once again, the efficacy of my methods in question Once again, my head is full of thoughts of "How could I possibly begin again?" When the odd one is divided it doesn't suddenly get even Once again, I've seen you nestled in hell with a wicked grin Calling the devil your lover in a sauna heaven I can see why people get confused about your intention With your wide-eyed, divinely-inspired innocence They take offence But I get the sense the one who made the hell is the one with the sin And baby, I understand and empathize with that wicked grin You divided yourself, you weren't trying to get even I sat by myself in those dark alleys they said I shouldn't have been Waiting for either hell to win or a surprise salvation Either way didn't matter after where I had been And where had I been? Fucking New York So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) We're back again, back to square fucking one I'm eating my own heart and saying it's for fun There was a lie or ten, but it was all lies to myself Never a slight on you, I already know you're in hell I can tell, with these dead souls drifting towards the light poles These streets are your veins but your life's full of ghosts And these are all stupid metaphors I'll never explain To anyone who's listening But the important bit is that I fell in love with a city That was the home I had dreamt of before the road had steered me Towards you The river kept us apart and it also led me straight to you And I told you Almost the moment I saw you I knew I was fucked too Because just like the city that didn't sleep where I dreamed I was in love with a girl who was too haunted to see me And baby, I understand and empathize with that need for silence Yeah, I fucking get it, my thoughts too are at war, entrenched in violence And just as the city I love that's too exhausted to see me You too are breaking my heart blindly You're fucking New York So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) So strange and beautiful (New York) The fruit that came before the fall (New York) So strange and beautiful The fruit that came before the fall
