You act like I don't understand
Well, I understand, now ask me if I care
You're standing too close to me
Gotta get away, gotta get out of the city

So what if I don't give a damn, I can't see the sky
Buildings towering above me
And you're standing too close to me
Gotta get away, gotta get out of the city

I read in the paper that God was dead
Saw the devil standing in the terminal
Said he's leaving out of New York City
He's gotta get away, gotta get out of the city

He's looking at something in television
And I'm looking around for a new position
When Jesus Christ came up to me
What a [Incomprehensible] I'm back to New Jersey

I'm back to New Jersey
I'm back to New Jersey

You act like I don't understand
But I'll understand, now ask me if I care
And you're standing too close to me
Gotta get away, gotta get out of the city

So what if I don't give a damn, I can't see the sky
Buildings towering around me
And you're standing too close to me
Gotta get away, gotta get out of the city

You act like I don't understand
Well, I understand, now ask me if I care
You're standing too close to me
Now gotta get away, gotta get out of the city
(Out of the city)

Out of the city
Get me out of the city
