Well I’m falling in love For the first time in days NYC is all leaning my way

There’s a chance I’m ready to take I got two legs I’m ready to break

Unless you’re here it’s hard to see Nature versus NYC

There’s a circus tent hanging over this town I’m gonna drive one of these stakes into the ground

There’s a circus tent hanging over this town I’m gonna drive one of these stakes into the ground

I’m wearing some bright red boots and a bright red belt There’s no mistaking me for anyone else

There’s a chance I’m ready to take I got two legs I’m ready to break

Unless you’re here it’s hard to see Nature versus NYC

There’s a circus tent hanging over this town I’m gonna drive one of these stakes into the ground

There’s a circus tent hanging over this town I’m gonna drive one of these stakes into the ground

Dear Esme Thanks for the letter Dear Esme Sorry that I didn’t write sooner

Dear Esme I know you’ll understand Dear Esme I’ve become a sleepy man

But I made it through the war with all my facilities intact I made it through the war with all my facilities intact I’m not the man you met so many years back But I made it through the war with all my facilities intact

Dear Esme Thanks for the letter Dear Esme Sorry that I didn’t write sooner

Little by little and bit by bit I’m gonna make that lady fall out of her heels Inch by inch and row by row I’m gonna make that lady know That this is real

You smile at me and I smile at you And we flirt but we always just skirt this issue And it never seems to end up like it ought I smile at you and you smile at me And we’re always so friendly But I think it’s time we just start this off

Little by little and bit by bit I’m gonna make that lady fall out of her heels Inch by inch and row by row I’m gonna make that lady know That this is real

We’re wasting time that we don’t have We’re burning daylight and it’s sad, my friend To watch the clock make its way around again

You smile at me and I smile at you And we flirt but we always just skirt this issue And it never seems to end up like it ought I smile at you and you smile at me And we’re always so friendly But I think it’s time we just start this off
