lyrics

I ain't never been to New York City
I ain't ever been to New York City
I never been to New York City
don't worry babe
you don't have to pity

because I know
where I go
is where I'm meant to be
and that's what the cities don't see
I remember the times you said we should drive
down to the train just to waste our time
in a city that would
probably just eat us alive
and wouldn't care if we lived or died

I ain't ever been to Los Angeles
I ain't never been to Los Angeles
I ain't never been to Los Angeles
I never really had a reason to flee

because I know
where I go
is where I'm meant to be
and that's what the cities don't see
I remember the time you said we should drive
down to the airport just just to fly all night
to a city that would probably just eat us alive
and wouldn't care if we died

and I'm so sick of
this synthetic opera show
yes I’m so sick of this
synthetic opera show
Yes I'm so sick of this
synthetic opera show
