Hey hey, I know it wasn't New York Where I lost my mind Hey hey, I know I must have left it It was back home all the time, And where were you while we lay So drunk that we died Hey hey, I know, but who could blame us, Under pressure And I know, I should have stayed in bed, And I know, I should have stayed in bed, And I know, I should have stayed in bed Hey hey, I know its just a toothache, I won't even cry Hey hey, the candy store prescriptions All lined up in the aisles And where were you while we lay Shipwrecked in denial Hey hey, its just a pill to help you Sleep right through the night I should have stayed in bed And I know I should have stayed in bed I know I should have stayed in bed Because tomorrow's gonna be another party You stay too long until the lights get lonely Oh tomorrow's gonna be another party Wait too long til we all stay out of the Sun, sun, sun, sun And I know, I should have stayed in bed, And I know, I should have stayed in bed I know, I know, it wasn't New York, New York I know, I know, it wasn't New York, New York New York, New York New York, New York
